Lewis v. United States

FERREN, Associate Judge:

After issuance of our first opinion and order in this case, Lewis v. United States, D.C.App., 393 A.2d 109 (1978), the government petitioned for rehearing. We granted the petition (without vacating our opinion and order) to give further consideration to Parts IV and V of that opinion, specifically to the government’s arguments that (1) the impeachable convictions of government witnesses are not Brady material,1 automatically producible at trial upon request, and that (2) even if they are, this court’s order is too broad.

After further review, we reaffirm our ruling.
