United States of America, and v. Edgar True Corning

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit April 13, 1972

United States of America, and v. Edgar True Corning, 456 F.2d 1314 (9th Cir. 1972)

1972 U.S. App. LEXIS 10101

Chambers, Hufstedler, Murray, Per Curiam

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.
