District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided January 4, 1989.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Elizabeth G. Taylor, Public Defender Service, with whom James Klein, Public Defender Service, Washington, D.C., was on the brief for appellant.

Michael D. Brittin, Asst. U.S. Atty., with whom Joseph E. diGenova, U.S. Atty., at the time the brief was filed, and Michael W. Farrell, Elizabeth Trosman, Washington, D.C., and William R. Martin, Asst. U.S. Atty., Dayton, Ohio, were on the brief for appellee.

Before ROGERS, Chief Judge, and NEWMAN and TERRY, Associate Judges.
