United States v. Ryan (402 U.S. 530)

United States Supreme Court

402 U.S. 530

United States  v.  Ryan

Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

No. 758.  Argued: April 26, 1971 --- Decided: May 24, 1971

District Court's order denying respondent's motion to quash a grand jury subpoena duces tecum requiring the production of records under his control in Kenya was not final and therefore not appealable, Cobbledick v. United States, 309 U.S. 323; nor was it rendered an appealable temporary injunction by inclusion of a provision requiring respondent to seek permission from Kenyan authorities to remove some documents from Kenya and if such permission was denied to grant United States agents access to the documents in that country. Pp. 532-534.

430 F. 2d 658, reversed.

BRENNAN, J., delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court.

Jerome M. Feit argued the cause for the United States. With him on the briefs were Solicitor General Griswold, Assistant Attorney General Wilson, and Philip R. Monahan.

Herbert J. Miller, Jr., argued the cause for respondent. With him on the brief were Raymond G. Larroca and Nathan Lewin.
