United States First Circuit

Convictions for violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and a number of related crimes, are affirmed over defendants' 28 U.S.C. section 2255 motions to vacate convictions, on grounds that the FBI should have produced allegedly exculpatory reports before trial under Brady v. Maryland, where the district court correctly denied the motions, finding that the prosecution team was not aware of the reports prior to the trial and that the reports were not material for Brady purposes.
