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.
Kolod v. United States, 390 U.S. 136 (1968)
Kolod v. United States No. 133 Certiorari denied October 9, 1967 Rehearing and certiorari granted and case decided January 29, 1968 390 U.S. 136
ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
Syllabus
After the petition for writ of certiorari in this case was filed, petitioners’ counsel, as alleged in their petition for rehearing, learned of a government agency’s electronic monitoring of a petitioner’s conversations at his place of business. The Solicitor General sought to justify nondisclosure by the Government on the basis of the Justice Department’s determination that the eavesdropped information was not arguably relevant to this prosecution.
Held: This Court cannot accept the Department’s ex parte determination of relevancy in lieu of such a determination in an adversary District Court proceeding, to be confined to the content of any electronically eavesdropped conversations at petitioner’s place of business and the pertinence thereof to petitioners’ subsequent convictions.
Rehearing and certiorari granted; 371 F.2d 983, vacated and remanded.
