Syllabus

The trial court erred in ordering full disclosure and production of grand-jury testimony from four witnesses for use in appellee's pending federal lawsuit brought under 42 U.S.C. 1983. Appellee demonstrated his entitlement to limited portions of one grand-jury transcript by establishing a particularized need that outweighed the need to maintain grand-jury secrecy. Disclosure and production of specified portions of the transcript shall be limited to the parties and respective counsel solely for use in appellee's federal lawsuit. Judgment affirmed in part and reversed in part. Stay lifted.
