1DissentSmith, Judge
I respectfully dissent. The United States Supreme Court cases cited in the majority are federal court decisions applying federal law. United States v. Ryan, 402 U. S. 530 (91 SC 1580, 29 LE2d 85) (1971), and Cobbledick v. United States, 309 U. S. 323 (60 SC 540, 84 LE 783) (1940), are attempted appeals of federal grand jury subpoenas from the Ninth Circuit. Firestone Tire &c. Co. v. Risjord, 449 U. S. 368 (101 SC 669, 66 LE2d 571) (1981), is a civil products liability appeal from the Eighth Circuit. The majority also relies on a number of federal circuit court decisions.
It is well established…
