Terry Lynn FRYE, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided December 4, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Linda Sroufe, appointed by this court, for appellant.

Carolyn K. Kolben, Asst. U.S. Atty., with whom Jay B. Stephens, U.S. Atty., and John R. Fisher, Elizabeth Trosman, and Virginia C. Veltrop, Asst. U.S. Attys., were on the brief, for appellee.

Before STEADMAN, FARRELL and KING, Associate Judges.


FARRELL, Associate Judge:

The sole issue presented is whether untranscribed testimony which a government witness, a police officer, gave in a related juvenile proceeding involving another defendant is a statement "in the possession of the United States" within the meaning of the Jencks Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3500 (1985). On the strength of our own previous decisions and ample authority from the federal courts, we answer that question "no" and affirm.

I.
