					General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present.  The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

    ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES
    COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
    Syllabus
    Court of Appeals held to have erred in denying petitioner’s alternative motion for an evidentiary hearing in the District Court to determine whether he was prejudiced by monitoring where it had granted his codefendant, following this Court’s remand in Levine v. United States, 383 U.S. 265, a new trial based on the Government’s disclosure that the FBI after the indictment had monitored conversations between the codefendant and the latter’s attorney. 
    Certiorari granted; 376 F.2d 993, vacated and remanded.
