In Re Lionel Mintzer
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
Decided December 26, 1974No. 74--1388PublishedCited by 17 opinions
1Per curiam
The appellant was called as a witness before a grand jury. Although granted immunity for his testimony, he was recalcitrant when he appeared and was as a consequence held in contempt pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1826(a).
The district court had, in an effort to expedite matters, permitted the witness to seek government affirmance or denial of wiretapping, under 18 U.S.C. § 3504, prior to his grand jury appearance. This was not required, because appellant was not yet an “aggrieved person” as defined by the statute. Gelbard v. United States, 408 U.S. 41, 54, 92 S.Ct. 2357, 33 L.Ed.2d 179 (1972); see…
