Lanza v. New York State Joint Legislative Committee on Government Operations
Opinion of the Court
Motion to amend remittitur granted. Return of remittitur requested and when returned it will be amended by adding thereto the following: Upon the appeal herein there was presented and necessarily passed upon a question under the Constitution of the United States, viz.: Appellant Lanza contended that respondents’ threatened use and divulgence of the recording of Lanza’s conversation with his-attorney, which use and divulgence are sought to be enjoined in this action, would deprive him of due process -under the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court of Appeals held that the action said to be threatened by respondents, a lawfully constituted legislative investigating committee, would not in this case deprive appellant Lanza of his constitutional right to due process. [See 3 N Y 2d 92.]
