U.S. v. GOMEZ

No. 89-3246.

927 F.2d 1530 (1991)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Pedro Angel GOMEZ, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

April 11, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John M. Fitzgibbons, Kim Munch, Tampa, Fla., for Gomez.

Walter Furr, Karla Spaulding, Asst. U.S. Attys., Tampa, Fla., for the U.S.

Before KRAVITCH and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges and ATKINS, Senior District Judge.


KRAVITCH, Circuit Judge:

Pedro Gomez appeals his conviction on possession, importation, and conspiracy charges involving a controlled substance.1 Although the district court ruled correctly on various evidentiary motions challenged by Gomez, it erred by not suppressing Gomez's post-arrest statements which were obtained subsequent to the request for counsel by the accused. We reverse and remand for a new trial.
