Text: 7 Generally, we review a district court's ruling on a discovery request for an abuse of discretion. See United States v. Domina, 784 F.2d 1361, 1372 (9th Cir.1986). The validity of the discovery order in this case, however, turns on the district court's interpretation of Fed.R.Crim.P. 16(a)(1), which we review de novo. See United States v. Givens, 767 F.2d 574, 583 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 106 S.Ct. 321, 88 L.Ed.2d 304 (1985); see also United States v. Patel, 762 F.2d 784, 791 (9th Cir.1985) (interpretation of statute reviewed de novo ).
