Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Stephen E. Silver, Burch & Cracchiolo, P.A., Phoenix, Ariz., for petitioners-appellees.

Robert Lindsay, U.S. Dept. of Justice, Washington, D.C., for respondents-appellants.

Before SKOPIL and FLETCHER, Circuit Judges, and McNICHOLS, District Judge.


FLETCHER, Circuit Judge:

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) appeals from the district court's grant of appellee's pre-trial motion to suppress evidence. The IRS challenges the holding that appellees' fourth amendment rights were violated by IRS undercover agents who elicited incriminating information from them by false pretences. Our court's jurisdiction rests on 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1976). We reverse and remand. 524 F.Supp. 645
