Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Sidney R. Bixler, Assistant Corporation Counsel, with whom Robert R. Rigsby, Corporation Counsel, and Rosalyn Calbert Groce, Director, Policy and Appeals Branch, were on the brief, for appellant.

Gary DiBianco, with whom Alison Flaum, Georgetown University Law Center, was on the brief, for appellee.

Before STEADMAN, FARRELL and GLICKMAN, Associate Judges.


STEADMAN, Associate Judge:

The trial court order suppressed any testimony about drug testing by the Drug Enforcement Agency when the chemist refused to submit to pretrial questioning by defense counsel except in the presence of government counsel. We reverse.
