Heading: Denial of Access to Grand Jury Records

Text: Mr. Thomas also argues that he should have been provided with materials relating to the grand jury proceedings relating to his indictment. As the district court noted, “[w]ith few exceptions . . ., records of grand jury proceedings are not -9- to be disclosed.” Rec. vol. I, doc. 140 at 7 (citing United States v. Troutman , 814 F.2d 1428, 1452 (10th Cir. 1987)); see also Troutman , 814 F.2d at 1453 (“[U]pon the showing of a particularized rather than a general need, the minutes [of a grand jury proceeding] should be disclosed in a discrete and limited manner.”). In any event, the plea agreement and waiver preclude Mr. Thomas from now asserting this claim.
