Heading: Kincaide's Discovery Motion

Text: 19 On appeal, defendant Kincaide challenges the District Court's refusal to require the Government to respond to a set of interrogatories that he had served on the prosecution. We review the District Court's order on a discovery motion in a criminal case for an abuse of discretion. United States v. Phillip, 948 F.2d 241, 250 (6th Cir.1991). The District Court was clearly within the bounds of its discretion when it denied defendant Kincaide's request for discovery. Kincaide filed this request for discovery after the cut-off date for pretrial motions, and the interrogatories sought information on the history of slavery in the United States, an issue that was not relevant to this case. The District Court did not abuse its discretion in denying Kincaide's request for discovery. 20
