1Opinion of the Court
BEEZER, Circuit Judge:
Rodney Bourgeois, a black man arrested as part of “Operation Streetsweep,” claims that the decision to prosecute him was unconstitutionally based on race. In furtherance of this claim, Bourgeois sought discovery of government documents about Operation Streetsweep. The district court denied the discovery request, denied a motion to dismiss for selective prosecution and accepted Bourgeois’ conditional guilty plea. Bourgeois’ timely appeal challenges only the denial of discovery. We have jurisdiction and we affirm.
