United States of America, and v. Edgar True Corning
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided April 13, 1972 · Chambers, Hufstedler, Murray, Per Curiam
456 F.2d 1314; 1972 U.S. App. LEXIS 10101 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

United States of America, and v. Edgar True Corning

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The judgment of conviction in this criminal contempt case is reversed.

Well intentioned as the original order was for the taking of a deposition of Corning in a criminal case, we find that no rule or statute really authorized it at the time.

On cases arising after October, 1970, there is statutory authorization under Public Law 91-452 for depositions under certain circumstances.
