Heading: Newly Discovered Evidence and Governmental Misconduct II

Text: 167 Case No. 91-9017 is an appeal from the district court's denial of Swindall's second post-trial motion for either a new trial on the basis of newly discovered evidence or dismissal of the indictment on the ground of governmental misconduct. The allegedly newly discovered evidence consisted of more tapes of LeChasney and Agent Mullaney and a canceled check produced by Swindall. Once again, we reject Swindall's claim of prosecutorial misconduct without discussion. With respect to Swindall's Brady claims, we agree with the district court that the majority of the allegedly newly discovered evidence is either cumulative of evidence raised in Swindall's first post-trial motion or is cumulative of evidence actually introduced in the original trial. We thus affirm the district court's denial of Swindall's second post-trial motion.
