1Opinion of the Court

MAHONEY, Circuit Judge:

Appellant Michael Petrillo was convicted of two counts of tax evasion in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 7201 after a jury trial before Judge Thomas P. Griesa, Southern District of New York. Petrillo moved for a new trial because certain documents surfaced after trial which Petrillo argued should have been produced to him at trial pursuant to his Jencks Act request, 18 U.S.C. § 3500 (1982), and his general Brady request, see Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 87, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 1196, 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1963). 1 Judge Griesa denied the motion, and this appeal followed.
