What is the current state of the law on disclosure of an ex parte investigation report after a guilty plea has been entered?

But in any event, appellant's contentions were answered by the tenth circuit in the case of Hoover v. United States, 10 Cir. 1959, 268 F.2d 787, where the court held, at page 790, that use of the ex parte report was not violative of due process.

Though there may be a divergence of opinion concerning the propriety of the disclosure of presentence investigation reports after a plea or verdict of guilty has been entered, the better view seems to be that expressed in United States v. Durham,³ D.C. 1960, 181 F.Supp. 503 certiorari denied, 364 U.S. 854, 81 S.Ct. 83, 5 L.Ed.2d 77; and in United States v. Greathouse,⁴ D.C. Ala. 1960, 188 F. Supp. 765, and in Hoover v. United States, supra. And see Williams v. New York, 1949, 337 U.S. 241, 69 S.Ct. 1079, 93 L.Ed. 1337.
