District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided August 13, 2009.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Enid Hinkes, appointed by the court, for appellant.

Shivaprasad Nagaraj, Assistant United States Attorney, with whom Jeffrey A. Taylor, United States Attorney at the time, and Roy W. McLeese III, Elizabeth Trosman, and Jin Y. Park, Assistant United States Attorneys, were on the brief, for appellee.

Before RUIZ, FISHER, and BLACKBURNE-RIGSBY, Associate Judges.


FISHER, Associate Judge:

Appellant Dan Hooks, Jr. challenges his conviction for violating a Civil Protection Order (CPO), D.C.Code § 16-1005(g) (2001), asserting that the evidence was insufficient and that the trial court improperly excluded documents and restricted cross-examination. Agreeing that the government failed to prove that appellant acted willfully, we reverse his conviction and do not reach the allegations of trial error.
