United States v. Anthony F. Wright

J. SKELLY WRIGHT, Circuit Judge:

Appellant’s court-appointed counsel employed an investigator from the Pub-*1184lie Defender Service to interview potential witnesses. The investigator did so and sent to counsel a report consisting of summaries of the interviews. At trial the court ordered the investigator, who had testified as a defense witness, to turn over a copy of the report to the Government. The main question raised on this appeal concerns the propriety of this procedure. We believe the trial court erred in ordering disclosure of the report to the Government, and accordingly we reverse.
