This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

D was traveling from Nigeria to his home in Ottawa, Canada with connections in Amsterdam and at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Agents at the Detroit airport discovered more than six kilograms of cocaine in a locked suitcase bearing a luggage tag with D's name. D was subsequently found to be in possession of a key that opened the locked suitcase. D was indicted for possession with intent to distribute cocaine and importation of cocaine. D seeks an order compelling P to produce a wide range of materials and information in the possession of the DEA and other federal agencies 'relating to the smuggling of drugs by baggage handlers,' It is assumed that D’s defense theory is that the bundles of cocaine found in D's travel bag were placed there by baggage handlers without D's knowledge.
