District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided March 4, 1987.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Diane S. Lepley, Washington, D.C., appointed by the court, was on brief, for appellant.

Joseph E. diGenova, U.S. Atty., and Michael W. Farrell, Judith Hetherton, and Debra L. Long-Doyle, Asst. U.S. Attys., Washington, D.C., were on brief, for appellee.

Before PRYOR, Chief Judge, and NEWMAN and BELSON, Associate Judges.


BELSON, Associate Judge:

Appellant was convicted in a non-jury trial of the attempted taking of property without right, D.C.Code §§ 22-103, -3816 (1981 & 1986 Supp.). Appellant argues that the trial judge abused his discretion in failing to require the government to produce material tangible evidence which had been requested before trial by the defense. We agree, reverse the conviction, and remand for a new trial.
