United States v. Charles Stafford Jackson and Jarrell Jennings

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
United States v. Charles Stafford Jackson and Jarrell Jennings, 538 F.2d 95 (5th Cir. 1976)

United States v. Charles Stafford Jackson and Jarrell Jennings

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Appellant complains that the court, in denying his Brady claim, overlooked the fact that a Brady request was made at the trial level. Reexamining the trial record we find that a general request for Brady material was made but this in no way changes the standard of materiality to be applied. The Supreme Court has recently equated a general request with no request at all:

[W]e conclude that there is no significant difference between cases in which there has been merely a general request for exculpatory matter and cases, like the one we must now decide, in which there has been no request at all.

United States v. Agurs, - U.S. -, 96 S.Ct. 2392, 2399, 49 L.Ed.2d 342 (1976).

IT IS ORDERED that the petition for rehearing filed in the above entitled and numbered cause be and the same is hereby DENIED.
