Docket

*1 Before: McKEOWN, BEA, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

Pursuant to the motion of the United States, the district court permitted disclosure of pre-existing business records subpoenaed by the grand jury in criminal proceedings against Michael Spitzauer. We have jurisdiction over Spitzauer’s appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

*2 Where (1) grand jury proceedings have concluded and an indictment has issued; (2) the disclosure is sought for a legitimate purpose; and (3) the requested disclosure is for preexisting business records generated for a purpose other than the grand jury investigation, the disclosure of the requested records does not compromise the integrity of the grand jury process and does not amount to a disclosure of matters occurring before the grand jury. See United States v. Dynavac, Inc. , 6 F.3d 1407, 1411–12 (9th Cir. 1993). The facts of this case fall squarely within Dynavac ’s holding and do not present “a rare and unusual case,” where learning which documents the grand jury subpoenaed would disclose information about its deliberative process. See id. at 1412 n.2.

AFFIRMED .
