No. 82-5960.

694 F.2d 1256 (1982)

In re GRAND JURY PROCEEDINGS. UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Nigel BOWE, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

December 14, 1982.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Bierman, Sonnett, Beiley & Shohat, Benedict P. Kuehne, Jon A. Sale, Miami, Fla., for defendant-appellant.

Glenn L. Archer, Jr., Tax Div., U. S. Dept. of Justice, Michael L. Paup, Robert E. Lindsay, E. Alan Hechtkopf, Washington, D.C., for plaintiff-appellee.

Before FAY and CLARK, Circuit Judges, and MARKEY, Chief Judge.

FAY, Circuit Judge:

This is an expedited appeal by Nigel Bowe, an attorney from the Bahamas, from a civil contempt finding against him for violation of an order to comply with a federal grand jury subpoena duces tecum. Mr. Bowe sought to quash the subpoena on the grounds that to comply would subject him to sanctions under Bahamian law and violate the attorney-client privilege. Finding these grounds to be without merit, we affirm the contempt order.
