In Re T. Bertram Lance

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
In Re T. Bertram Lance, 610 F.2d 228 (5th Cir. 1980)
1980 U.S. App. LEXIS 21386

In Re T. Bertram Lance

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Appellate Review of the conduct of criminal proceedings should usually be postponed until after final judgment has been rendered by the trial court. See Will v. United States, 389 U.S. 90, 96, 88 S.Ct. 269, 274, 19 L.Ed.2d 305, 310 (1967) (in which review was sought by the government); cf. Helstoski v. Meanor, 442 U.S. 500, 99 S.Ct. 2445, 61 L.Ed.2d 30 (1979) (denying a writ of mandamus to a defendant who had a remedy by appeal).

All parties agree that there is no precedent for staying the trial. Having carefully considered the motion and the consequences of granting as well as those of denying it, both in the present case and as a precedent for this circuit, we conclude that it should be DENIED.
