Text: Rodriguez makes two other complaints about the prosecutor’s conduct in the instant case that are without merit. He contends that his counsel requested the prosecution to produce the photo array from which Rodriguez was apparently identified, that the court granted his request, and that the prosecutor disobeyed the court’s direction by refusing to provide the array. We have reviewed the pertinent portion of the record and found that the court directed the prosecutor and Rodriguez’s defense counsel to confer (apparently out of court) and report back to the court if there was still any disagreement. The district judge told the attorneys that if they did not bring the matter to his attention again “the Court will assume that that’s been taken care of.” Rodriguez does not call our attention to any subsequent hearing on the matter, so we cannot conclude that this incident involved any prosecutorial misconduct. Rodriguez’s other complaint is that the government used the indictment process in a matter that constituted prosecutorial misconduct. We believe that this claim is more properly analyzed under the speedy trial rubric, which Rodriguez also invokes.
