LEPLEY v. LYCOMING CTY. CT. OF COM. PL.

481 Pa. 565 (1978)

393 A.2d 306

George E. LEPLEY, Esquire, Petitioner, v. LYCOMING COUNTY COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.

Decided October 5, 1978.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

George E. Lepley, Jr., Asst. Public Defender, pro se.

William S. Kieser, Dist. Atty., Kenneth D. Brown, Asst. Dist. Atty., Williamsport, Robert F. Banks, Asst. Dist. Atty., Mercer, for appellee.

Before EAGEN, C.J., and O'BRIEN, ROBERTS, POMEROY, NIX, MANDERINO and LARSEN, JJ.

OPINION OF THE COURT

ROBERTS, Justice.

This case presents the question whether the trial court's order directing petitioner, George E. Lepley, Jr., Esquire, to make available to the Commonwealth the tape he made of his client's preliminary hearing deprives his client of his Sixth Amendment right to counsel and Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. We hold that it does not and deny petitioner's request for Writ of Prohibition.
