CRIMINAL RULE 6.1 GRAND JURIES

(A) NAMES OF GRAND JURORS The names of grand jurors may not be published or disclosed to an individual after a grand jury is drawn, other than to an attorney for the United States and necessary support personnel for performance of official duties to enforce federal criminal law and to other individuals as may be required by law or allowed by court order.

(B) GRAND JURY DOCUMENTS Grand jury documents maintained by the clerk are restricted documents, filed under seal, and available for review or unsealed only upon court order. This rule applies to grand jury subpoenas; transcripts of testimony; the clerk's docket of grand jury proceedings; and motions and orders relating to grand jury subpoenas, true bills, and no bills. However, the United States Attorney may disclose to a defense attorney or to the defendant statements and reports of a witness before the grand jury, if the witness will testify during a criminal trial. The transcript of a witness's grand jury testimony may be released to a defense attorney or to the defendant at least three days before the witness will testify.

(C) MOTIONS TO QUASH Absent good cause shown, a motion to quash or limit a grand jury subpoena must be filed and served seven (7) days before the date the witness is subpoenaed to appear or to produce documents.
