United States Second Circuit

In this case, the Swiss complainant seeks the production of documents in the United States to provide to a Swiss investigating magistrate overseeing a criminal inquiry in Switzerland. Denial of appellants' motion to vacate the district court's order (granting complainant's ex parte 28 U.S.C. section 1782 application) is affirmed, where, based on the plain reading of section 1782, as well as the law's legislative history, the statute applies to a foreign criminal investigation involving an investigating magistrate seeking documents in the United States.
