Heading: Use of the FBI 302's

Text: 45 Appellants claim that the district court erred in permitting Agent Huff to consult FBI Form 302's 2 while testifying. Appellants assert that the information in the 302's was inconsistent with the notes taken by the agent during the custodial interviews. However, appellants cite no case or rule as a basis for their claim, and we find no error. 46 The district court permitted Agent Huff to refer to the 302's as a means of refreshing his recollection only. The forms were not admitted into evidence. Furthermore, Agent Huff was subjected to extensive cross-examination on the inconsistencies between the 302's and his notes of the interviews. His explanation of the discrepancies was not unreasonable, and the limited use of the 302's presented no fundamental unfairness or undue prejudice, simply an issue of credibility which was properly left for the jury's assessment.
