STATEMENT OF THE CASE
A. Proceedings Below:
The Petitioner was charged by a Grand Jury in
the District Court with conspiracy to defraud the
Immigration and Naturalization Service (hereinafter
called "INS") under 18 USC Sec. 371, and false
statements in the legalization applications under
18 USC Sections 1001, 1002. Petitioner pleaded not
guilty to all counts.
Prior to trial, on November 9, 1990, Petitioner
filed a Combined Motions: Motion to inspect Grand
Jury minutes, and Motion for In&Spection,
Reproduction, Copying of the records with the Court
Clerk pursuant to 28 USC Sec. 1366, and Sec. 1367
(b)(d) and (f£). (Appendix E£, 0.14 A) Both motions
were denied, with the Court declining action on
Petitioner's motion for inspection, reproduction
and copying of the records with the Court Clerk
under 28 USC Sec. 1867 (b)(d) and (f).
On March 22, 1991, petitioner through counsel
filed the Defendant's Motions to Dismiss for
5
ie
;
Roverceental Misconduct, Grand Jury Abuse, and
Unconstitutional Composition of the Grand Jury
(AppendixF , p.29A), all of which were denied.
On April 15, 1991, the Government filed a
motion in Linine to admit the testimonies of Ramon
and Marie Martin . This was granted by the Court
under Rule 404 (b) Federal Rules of Evidence,
notwithstanding oral objections by the Defense.
After a trial by an all white jury, the jury
returned a guilty verdict on the four counts.
During the sentencing on April 24, 1992, the
Court refuscdPetitioner's request to comment on the
Revised Presentence Report of the Probation
Officer. (Video Tane 4/24/92)
Petitioner was sentenced, judgment rendered
‘Appendix 0, p8A ) and corrected judgment entered
on May 15, 1992. Petitioner appealed to the United
States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, but
Said Court affirmed the judgment of conviction by a
Judgment order, withoit discussing the issues. (
Appendix A , plA )

B. Statement of Facts.
Petitioner is ar American citizen of
Philippine origin, 02 years old, of previously
unblemished reputation, and a lawyer with a clean
record for more than 30 years.
On May 21, 1990, Petitioner accompanied three
(3) applicants for legalization (Corado, Pamposa
and Panahon) in their interview in the INS of fice
in Philadelphia, PA. On that same day, after their
interview, Petitioner represented the applicants,
as their counsel, when they were interrogated by
the INS criminal investigators in their office.
Upon advise of Petitioner as their counsel, the
applicants invoked their constitutional rights to
remain silent during the interrogation.
Irritated and angered by the refusal of the
applicants, upon counsel's advise, to answer their
questions, the INS investigators launched that very
day thei: Operation "Barrister" (to go after their
lawyer), altnough the investigators had no evidence
against him. ¢
In or about July 1990, the INS investigators
made contacts with the applicants, Pamposa and
Corado, in their residences, in the absence and
without the knowledge of their counsel, the
Petitioner. Tnis appears to have been made with the
consent, authorization and/or supervision of the
government lawyers in violation of the AA Code of
Professional Conduct, Rules 4.2 and 5.3 as adopted
in Pennsylvania, as well as the attorney-client
relationship.
Other government misconducts were cammitted
during the grand jury proceedings and jury trial
which are discussed under the heading: Reasons for
Allowance of the Writ.
<XISTENCE OF JURISDICTION BELOW
The United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania had jurisdiction
under 18 US® Section 3231, which provides that the
District Courts have original jurisdiction of all
_ offenses against the laws of the United States.

REASONS FOR ALLOWANCE OF THE WRIT
I. THE JUDGEMENT OF THE COURT OF APPEALS WHICH
FIRMED THE ACTION OF THE TRIAL COURT IN DENYING
«a DEFENDANT ACCESS TO THE JURY SELECTION RECORDS
PURSUANT TO 28 USC SEC. 1867 (£) IS CONTRARY TO THE
DECISION OF THIS COURT IN TEST VS. UNITED STATES
420 U.S. 28 (1975) AND THE DECISIONS OF SEVERAL
OTHER CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS.
The pertinent provisions of 28 USC Sec. 1867
(£) provides:
"(£) The contents of records or papers used by
the jury commision or clerk in connection with
the jury selection process shall not be
disclosed, except pursuant to the District
Court plan oc as may be necessary in the
preparation or presentation of a motion under
subsection (a), (b), or (c) of this section...
The parties in a case shall be allowed to
inspect, reproduce, and copy such records Or
rs at. all reasonable times during the
preparation and pendency of such motion.
In interpreting this provision the United
States Supreme Court in Test v. United States,
420 U.S. 28 (1975) ruled:
"This provision makes Clear that a litigant has
essentially an unqualified right to inspect
jury lists. It yrants access in order to aid
parties in the "preparation" of motions
challenginy jury-selection procedures. Indeed,
without inspection, a party almost invariably
would be unable to determine whether he has a
potentially meritorious jury challenge. Tous,
an unqualified right to inspection 1s
required not only by the plain text of the
statute, but also by the statute's overall
purpose of insuring "yrand and petit juries
9
selected at random from a fair cross section
of the community." 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1851.
Since petitioner was denied an opportunity
to inspexst the jury lists, we vacate the
judgment of the Court of Appeals and remand
the case to that court with instructions to
remand to the District Court so that
petitioner may attempt to support his
challenge to the jury selection procedures.
The situation in the present case is similar
to that in Test v United States. Here, as in Test
the appelant challenge the jury selection process
claiming anong others the systematic exclusion of
minorities such as persons of Spanish and Asian
origin and young. people in violation of the
Constitution, and appelant filed a motion under 28
.USC Sec. 1367(f£) for inspection of the jury
selection records in the custody of the clerk of
court to make discovery of evidence necessary to
support his challenge of discrimination in the
selection of the Grand Jury and thereafter the
petit jury. In this instant case as in “Test v
United States, the District Court rejected the
jury challenge and denied the motion to inspect the
records, and Ptitioner renewed his claims before
_the Court of Appeals, but the Court oF Appeals,
10
like in Test v United States, affirmed the
conviction without discussing the issues. Under
similar situation the Supreme Court in Test v
United States granted "certiorari to decide whether
the Jury Selection and Service Act reguired that
petitioner be permitted to inspect the jury lists."
(See Test v United States, 420 US 29, at 29).
The decision of the United States Supreme
Court in Test v UnitedStates 15S therefore fully
applicable to the present case.
In United States v Alden, 776 #£ Fad
771(1985), the United States Court of Appeals for
the 8=h Circuit stated:
Sven if Defendant's anticipated challenge to
the jury selection process, as anticipated at
the time of his motion for inspection, are
without merit, the Defendant may still inspect
the jury records. Grounds for challenge to the
jury selection process may only become apparent
after an examination of the records. Test v
United States, 420 US 3t 30, S. Ct. at 750;
Davis, 582 F. 2d at 839. (United States v
Alden, 776 F. 2d 771 (1985),at 775.
fo avail himself of right of access to otherwise
unpublish jucy selection records, Defendant need
not allege that he is preparing motion challenging
jury selection process. (United States yv Alden
li
&
1985, CA 8 Mo) 776 Ed 771. 28 USC Sec. 1867(£)
gives litigant unqualified right to inspect jury
list in order to aid parties in preparation of
motion challenging jury selection procedures.
(United States v Penia (1981, WD Dela) 516 F. Supp.
248); (United States v Studby (1986, CA 9 Cal.) 783
F 2D 934).
District Court's denial of Defendant's
Pretrial Motion fo- Inspection and Copying of Jury
Records Pursuant to 28 USC Sec. 1367 (f) for
purpose of preparation in presentation of motion
Cnallenging compliance with Statutory jury
Selection process constituted reversibie error.
(Sov't of Canal Zone vs. Davis (1979, CA Canal
Zone) 592 F. 2d 887); ( See also US v Beaty 1972,
C\ 9 Ariz.) 465 F zd 1376.
In reversing the lower court's judgment , the
Aspeals Court in Gov't of Canal Zone v Davis (592
F.2d 887) held:
"Since the appelant's right to inspect was
unqualified, whether ot not the accompanying
affidavit established a prina facie case of
defective jury selection process is of no
importance,."Citing Test v United States" 420
US at 29 n.2.
12
It further held:
"Where, aS here, a defendant is denied
access to the very materia!s containing the
information necessary to filing of a motion to
dismiss for defective jury selection, his
failure to file a formal motion blindly and
speculatively drafted will not be viewed as an
abandonment of his rights aa inspection".
‘Ibid, at 889).
In the present case, the Tial Court clearly
commited reversible error in denying the defendant
the right to inspect jury records in connection
with his motion challenging the selection of the
Grand Jury and thereafter the petit jury, thus
Genying him his constitiutional and statutory
rights.
13
II. THE LOWER COURT IN DENYING PETITIONER'S RIGHT
UNDER RULE 32(c)(3) OF THE FEDERAL RULES OF
CRIMINAL PROCEDURES TO COMMENT ON THE PRESENTENCE
REPORT OF THE PROBATION OFFICER VIOLATED DUE
PROCESS OF LAW AS GUARANTEED BY THE 5TH AND 14TH
AMENDMENTS TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION AND SUCH DENIAL
IS IN CONFLICT WITH OTHER CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
DECISIONS.
This involves important issues of
constitutional law that ought to be resolved
because although some lower courts have decided on
this question, this: Honorable Court has not spoken
or decided on this issue.
The Court of Aopeals was in error in confirming
the judyement of the lower court which denied the
| Defendant the right to comment or prohibited the
defendant from making comments on the Revised
Presentence Report of the Pcobation Officer during
the sentencing on April 24, 1992 (Video Tape
4/24/92), in violation of Rule 32 (c) (3) of the
9 alate Se eee
_| Federal Rules of Criminai Procedure. During the
: sentencing Defendant-Petitioner requested the court
) that he be allowad to comment on the Revised
| Presentence Report of the Probation Officer but the
District Court denied his request. (Video Tape
| 4/24/92).
14
The pertinent provisions of Rule 32 (c) (3) of
He Federal Rules of Criminai Procedure provides:
3) Disclosure
A) At least 10 days before imposing
sentence, unless this minimum period is
waived by the defendant, the court
shall provide the defendant and the
defendant's counsel with a <opy of
the report of the presentence
investigation, including the informa-
tion requirsd by subdivision (c)
(2) ecscces
The court shall afford the defendant
and the defendant's counsel an
Opportunity to comment on the report
and, in the discretion of the court, to
introduce testimony or other
information relating to any alleged
factual inaccuracy contained in it.
B) If the court is of the view that
there is information in the presentence
report which shouid not be disclose
under sub-division (c) (3) (A) of this
rule, the court in lieu of making the
report or part thereof available shall
state orally or-in writing a summary of
the factual information contained
therein to be relied on in determining
sentence, and shall give the defendant
and thedefendant's counsel an
Opportunity to comment thereon.
D) I£ the comments of the defendant and
the defendant's counsel ox testimony
or other information introduced by them
allege any factual inaccuracy in the
presentence investigation report or
the summary of the report ox part
thereof, the court shall, as to each
matter controverted, make (i) a finding
as to the allegation, or (ii) a
15
determination that no such finding is
necessay because thre matter
controverted will not be taken into
account in sentencing.
Under anended FRCr P32 (3) the court must
permit the defendant and his counsel to read the
presentence investigation report at a reasonable
time before imposing sentence or summarize and give
both the defendant and his counsel an opportunity
to comment thereon. FRCr.P32 (c) (3) (D), (E), (F).
(9 Federal Procedure, L. Ed Supp. June 1990, Sec.
22:18, p. 373). (Underscoring supplied).
Since defendant in criminal case is entitled to
due process in all phases of prosecution, including
sentencing, and due process requires that defendant
not be sentenced on basis of materially false
information, defendant is thus entitled to
effective opportunity to respond to sentencing
soSition advanced by the government, including
pportunity to review and comment upon presentence
"eport prepared by probation office of the court.

FRCrP32 was violated by failure of court to

sentencing judge *o afford defendant his absolute
right of allocation is error, requiring reversal
for resentencing. United v. Sparrow (1982, CA 5
Miss) 673 F.2d 862.
In the instant case, the lower Court by denying
Defendant's constitutional and statutory rights to
comment on the revised Presentence Report
prejudicially denied him due process as provided
for in the 5th and 14th Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution, which is reversible error.

III. THE GOVERNMENT'S VIOLATIONS OF THE
ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP AND RULES 4.2 AND 5.3
OF THE CODE OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT AS ADOPTED IN
PENNYSLVANIA, WHICH PROHIBITS A LAWYER OR HIS
AGENTS FROM COMMUNICATING WITH A PARTY WHO IS KNOWN
TO BE REPRESENTED BY ANOTHER LAWYER WITHOUT THE
OTHER LAWYER'S CONSENT, TOGETHER WITH OTHER GOVERN-
MENTAL MISCONDUCT, DENI=D PETITIONER DUE PROCESS
AND FAIR TRIAL, AND AMOUNTED TO OUTRAGEOUS GOVERN-
MENT MISCONDUCT WARRANTING DISMISSAL OR NEW TRIAL,
SO THAT THE LOWER COURT JUDGMENT WAS IN ERROR.
The conduct of the Government, both by its
agents and attorneys, was violative of the the Code
of the Professional Conduct ("Code"), as adopted
in Pennsylvania.
Rule 4.2 of the Code provides:
"(I)n representina a client, a lawyer shall
not communicate about the subject of the
representation with a party lawyer’ knows to
De represent2d Dy another lawyer
matter, unless the lawyer has consent of the
other lawyer or is authorized by law to do so."
Rule 5.3 of the Code provides:
"(W)ith respect t9. a non-lawyer employed or
retained by or associated with a lawyer:....
(b) a lawyer having direct authority over the
nonlawyer should make reasonable efforts to
ensure that the person's’ conduct is
compatible with the professional obligations
of the lawyes; and (c) a lawyer shall be
responsible for conduct of such a person that
would be in violation of the Rules of
Professional Conduct if engaged in by a lawyer
if: (1) The lawyer orders or, with the
’ Knowledge of the specific conduct, ratifies the
conduct involved;.....
18
Under the terms of Rule 5.3 of the code, the
INS agents who conducted the uncounseled interviews
and coercion of Corado and Pamposa were associated
with and the alter egos of the government attorneys
assigned to the investigation and prosecution of
the Defendant. But for the government's destruction
q of the attorney-client relationship, and a
deliberate disregard for the ethical duties
required of lawyers, the Government would be
without any evidence indicative of criminal conduct
by the Defendant.
The Court, through an exercise of its
supervisory powers, may dismiss an indictmert if
required to protect the Defendant's rights.
United States v Al Mudarris, 695 F. 2 1182 (9
Cir.), cert. denied 461 US 932, (1983). Where the
yovernment conduct leading to the indictment is
outrayeous, United States v Russell, 411 US 423
(1973), the Court must dismiss an indictment in
order to deter further, similar, misconduct by the
Government. United States v. Houghton, 554 F2d 1219
(lst Cir.), cert. denied, 434 US 851, (1977).
19
On May 21, 1990, the Government knew that
Corado and Pamposa were represented by the Defen-
dant, as their lawyer, when they were detained and
interrogated by the INS agents in their office. On
that date the Government knew that Defendant ad-
vised each of his clients to remain silent in the
face of the INS agents efforts to elicit incrimina-
ting information and evidence from them. At no time
after said interrogation on May 21, 1990 did the
defendant terminated or his clients terminated his
representations of said clients, nor did he consent
to his clients uncounseled interview or interroga-
tions by the INS agents subsequent to said date.
In the matter at hand, any member of the Bar
ought to know the surreptitious interviewing Oo7
interrogating a client known to be represented by a
lawyer is a gross violation of the standards of
ethical behavior expected of those admitted to
practice law. Clearly, even if the Government did
not initiate the improper contact with Defendant's
clients, nevertheless h2 should have kown that
such contact by the government agents was improper
and he should not have ratified said improprieties
20
4 by the use of the information or evidence garnered
' by the agents in order to obtain an indictment of
: or against the Defendant in this case.
Withoui: Defendant's consent to that interview,
a any contact by Government counsel with Defendant's
clients would be prohibitedunder the Code, so long
‘as Defendant continued to represent those clients.
; Indeed, under the Rule 2 of the Local Rules of
Criminal Procedure ofPennsylvania, and applying
those Rules to attorneys involv2d in criminal
litigation before the Court, government counsel's
violation of the Rules is clear. See also, United
Pee v. Hammad, 958 P+ 24 834, 837-838 (2nd Cir.
7 1988).
: Additionally, even if government counsel did no
} more than ratify the investigative conduct of the
} INS agents, that conduct was not legitimate
investigative technique otherwise allowed by law,
Hammad, Supra. at 839, and government counsel's
| ratification of that conduct is analogous to the
conduct prohibited by the Court in United States
v Caputo, 641 F Supp. 378 (E.D. Pa 1986) as well as
in Hammad.

Other serious Government Misconducts consist
of the following:
The Prosecutor who presented the charges to
}Grand Jury committed Misconduct by:
a) Witholding or failing to inform the jury of
the lenient charges and_ sentences’ and
Employment Authorization Cards given to
government star witnesses Corado and Pamposa,
so they will go against or falsely testify
against their lawyer (Appellant). ABA
Standards, the Prosecution Function S 3.6(G)
- The Prosecutor should disclose to the Grand
Jury any evidence which he knows will tend to
negate guilt. (See United States v Phillips
Petroleum Co.) 435 F. Supo. 610, 617-22 (N.D.
Okla. 1977); (United States v Braniff Airways
Inc.), 428 F. Supp. 579 (W.D. Texas).
b) Inviting and allowing the presence of
unauthorized person during the presentation
of evidence to and deliberation of the Grand
Jury in which he seek the indictment herein.
Specifically, inviting and permitting another
Assistant U.S. Attorney to attend as observer
during the presentation and deliberation of
the: Grand Jury. In United States v Braniff
Airways, Inc. (1977, W. D. Texas) 428 F.
Supo. 579, the Court dismissed an indictment
where it appeared a Justice Department
Attorney was present in the Jury room when
“he case was being presented to the jury. It
rejected the government's contention that the
attorney was present to observe so that he
could present other cases in the future. 68
ALR Fed. Sec. 5(a) p. 814.
22
Defendan*: asserts that prosecutors have a
clear duty ‘o present exculpatory evidence to a
Grand Jury, Johnson v Superior Court 539 P 2 792
y
i
(1975); United States v Phillip Petroleum Co., 435
a
iF. Supp. 6'0, and a conviction cannot be permitted
:
8
a
»to stand where a orosecutor has, either wilfully or
negligently, withheld material evidence favorable to
ithe Defendant. Tomas v United States, 343 F. 2d 49
(1965).
In the present case, since the applicants,
| Pamposa and Corado, were illegal aliens who had been
niding from the INS for several years, it is clear
that they were easily intimidated by the approach of
‘the INS agents and the fear that these agents could
detain and deport them. Upon being approached by the
INS agents in the absence of their counsel,Pamposa
and Corado were easily intimidated into making false
statements against the Defendant.
These materials, exculpatory, evidence should
have been but were not disclosed to the Grand Jury
and appeared deliberately withheid fram_ them.
Defendant's indictment hinged primarily upon the
“f
?
‘testimonies of Corado and Pamposa, without which
3
23
testimony there would not have sufficient evidence
to sustain an indictment.
Various courts have recognized that certain
agreements between the prosecution and its witnesses
are “invitations to perjury" and are violative of
constitutional guarantees of the due process and
trial. See,Defending Business and White Collar
Crimes, by L. Bailey, et. al, Vol. 1,Crim. Supp.,
p.2 (Dec. 1990). In Giglio v US 92 Ss. Ce. 763
(1972), U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Burger held
that if an Assistant United States Attorney, who
first dealt with key government witnesses, promised
a witness that he would not be prosecuted if he
cooperated with the Government, such a promise was
attributed to Government, regardless of whether
attorney had authority to make it, and nondisclosure
of that promise, which was not commnicated to
Assistant: United States attorney who tried the case,
would constitute a violation of due process
requiring a new trial.
iT
overnment Misconducts During the Trial
In his opening statement, the Prosecutor
Anphasized excessive fees that he claimed were
Bharged by the Defendant which the government
Yntended to prove but never did. This was highly
nf lammatory aid prejudicial to the Defendant
ecause it directly attacked his character,
Bortraying him as a greedy lawyer who charged
éxorbitant fees preying on poor innocent victims.
Vide» Tage 4/17/91).
In the cross examination, Ms. Jane Goldblum
dmitted that during the recess, she conferred with
e Prosecutor as to her testimony, so that after
he recess she was able to cure some deficiency and
prove her testimony claiming that she had spent
everal hours in research and negotiation with the
~brosecutor on no deportation and advance parole for
-- Prosecution witness Martin, which the government
¥ill not oppose, but for which she charged $3,000.90
as her attorney's fee (Video Tape 4/24/91),
dnsinuating that Defendant's fees were exorbitant
z
t not hers.
25
"During direct examination, the fourth
witness was "not sure" as to the date of a
certain conference at which representatives
of the corporate defendant were present. At a
recess period his memory was refreshed during
a conversation with an Assistant U.S.
Attorney. Upon resuming the stand, he
corrected his previous testimony as to the
date. On cross-examination, he admitted that
the error has been called to his attention by
the Assistant. The Court then excused the
jury and after excoriating tne Assistant
called the Jury back into session and
directed the verdit of acquittal. (Fong Foo v
United States, 369 U.S. 141, 1962); See
United States v. Oliver, 570 F. 24 397 (lst
Cir. 1978); United States v Capocci, 433 F.
2d 155 (lst Cir. 1970).
During the trial, the Prosecutor insinuated
guilt by alleged failure oF Appellant to present
emoloyees of his office as witness ,notwithstanding
the fact that August2 Sarmiento, a defense witness,
was an employee of appellant's office during the
period in question, (Vide» Tape 4/24/91). The
Prosecution's insinuations were not only untrue and
unfair but also improper outrageous conduct. (See
Griffin v Calif. 330 U.S. 609, 5613-5; U.S. Vv
Modica, 663 F. 2d 1173, 1178 (2d Cir. 1981), cert.
denied456 U.S. 989). The Pcosecutor further
improperty vouched as ‘oO tne credibility of his
witnesses, especially with respect to the Martins’
26
reading a portion of the Prosecutor's agreement
-h the Martin's vouching on the truthfulness of
Bcir testimonies. T1is was erroneously admitted by
e trial court over the objection of the defense.
ideo Tape 4,/23/91).
In his’ closing, the Prosecutor made
flammatory and prejudicial remarks to the jury,
speatedly pitting Ds fendant against the prosecution
f itnesses aid personally insinuating that the
sfendant was lying and the Prosecutor's witnesses
i elling the truth. (Video Tape 4/25/91). Arguments
‘ ich convey the personal opinion of the prosecutor
gs to the justness of his cause, and the credibility
$e his witnesses are- outrageously improper in
Piolation of AB‘ Prosecution Standard 3-58 (b).‘:See
}ilson v United States, So. 20d 126, 128 (Fla.,
978); Model Code of Professional Responsibility
DR7-106(c) (4) (1980). Arguments designed to inflame

Based on the combined grounds of improper
onducts of the Prosecutors and goverment agents in
Khe investigation and prosecution of this case, a
hudgment of dismissal or new trial would be proper

LAAT RN NTT -
Iv. THE ADMISSION BY THE LOWER COURT UNDER RULE
404 (b) OF THE FEDERAL RULES OF EVIDENCE OF THE
MARTIN'S TESTIMONIES ABOUT DISSIMILAR CRIMINAL
ACTIVITIES FOR WHICH PETITIONER WAS NOT CHARGED
CAUSED UNFAIR PREJUDICE VIOLATING HIS RIGHT TO A
FAIR TRIAL.
There iS a substantial question as to
whether the prior acts of defendant as claimed by
the Martin's were dissimilar to the offenses which
were charged in this case. Assuming arguendo that
the prior acts of defendant were similar to the
crimes charyed, there is substantial question
whether their potential for unfair prejudice far
outweight their provative value. The Martin's claim
that defendant assisted them in the preparation of
alleged fraudulent applications under the RAW
program (Replenishment Agricultural Workers
program) was so dissimilar to the amnesty program
charged in the indictment as to make their
testimonies not probative. As such their
testimonies were not intended to show common plan,
scheme or design or to show absence of mistake or
accident but to establish defendant's propensity to
2y
commit the crimes charged in the indictment. Even
granting said program to be similar to the amnesty
program involved in the present charged, given the
@ overwhelming prejudicial effect of their
testimonies which far outweighed their probative
value, the same should not have been admitted into
# evidence.
Protection against unduly prejudicial
similar-acts evidence admitted under Rule 404
(c) emanates in part from assessment which the
District Court must make to determine whether
probative value of similar-acts evidence is
substantially outweighed >y potential for
unfair prejudice under Rule 493. Huddleston v
United States (1988) 485 JS 681.
Prior acts should not have been admitted since
prior activities were too dissimilar from the
offenses charged to permit prior acts -to serve
as valid proof of intent to commit the offenses
charged. See United States v Miller (1989, CA
9 Cal.) 874 F. 2d 1255.
In prosecuting for conspiracy and false
statements to government agency, the Court should
not have admitted evidence of defendant's al ledged
orior bad acts under Rule 404 (0) where evidence of
erior acts had no relevance to charges filed except
to established propensity to falsification, which
30
is the kind of conclusion prohibited by Rule
404(b). See United States v Cortijo-Diaz (1989, CA
1) 875 F 2d 93.
CONCLUS ION
This Petition involves questiohs of exceptional
unportance since it affects fundamental and
constitional rights of the parties in criminal and
civil cases to due process of law and a fair jury
trial, and constitional and statutory rights of
defendants in criminal cases + Cement on the

liberty and property.
For the reasons set forth above, the pocitioner
respectfully prays this Honorable Court to grant
the herein writ.

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
i. It apppears that the manner and
method Sy which the court that selected
members of the Grand Jury which returned
the indictment against the defendant
Systematically excluded s2gments of the
€ligible population in violation of the
Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
and Acts of Congress. :
2. The use of voter registration list
as the sole source of names for the master
jury wheel results in substantial
under-representation in the master jury
wheel, in the qualified jury wheel, and in
tne grand jury of certain cognizable

4. With respect to the foregoing
allegations, precise factual information
ls unavailable without discovery and
inspection of the jury records.
5. Because the defendant has not yet
been able to inspect the jury records, he

precise estimat2s of the extent of the
under-representation of the cognizable
classes. The defendant intends to

challenges if, after discovery of the
materials requested in the application for

MOTION OF DEFENDANT
NARCISO SANTIAGO MARILAO, JR.
FOR DISMISSAL OF INDICTMENT BASED UPON
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
COMPOSITION OF GRAND JURY
The Defendant, Narciso Santiago
Marilao, Jr., by his undersigned counsel,
Jack 1. Gruenstein, Esquire, moves for the
dismissal of the indictment in this matter
as being illegal, * void and
unconstitutional on the following grounds:
1.The array of Grand Jary was not
selected, drawned or summoned in
accordance with law and the constitution
and is not representative of the community
from which it was impanelled.
2. The method of selection of the Grand
29A
Jury which sat on the case did not produce
an impartial jury drawn from a cross-
section of the community and, therefore
denied the Defendant the right secured to
him by the Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth
Amendment:is to the Constitution of the
United States.
3. The composition of the Grand Jary,
because it was not an impartial jury drawn
from a cross-section of the community,
denied the Defendant the rights secured to
him by the Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth
Amendments to the Constitution of the
Jnited States.
4. The plan for the Random Selection of
Grand Jury and petit Jurors of 1958 for
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, as
amended, is unconstitutional. The use of
the voter registration lists as the only
source list of the prospective jurors is
violative of die process and equal
protection of the law as guaranteed by the
30A
Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution, because voter registration
lists, anony others, over-represent men,
older people, higher educat2d people and
wealthier people, and systematically
exclude and/or substantially underrepresent
women, racial, national origin, ethnic or
religious minorities such as Orientals
(including Filipinos) and Hispanics, young
people (ages 15-29), poor people with low
paying jobs, and the unemployed.
5. The granting of automatic exemptions
to m2mbers of the fire and police
departments, U.S. Armed Forc2s in active
service, public officers, and the excuse
from jury service on request of persons
over 70 years old, practicing lawyers,
physicians, dentists, clergy or actively
engaged members of religious orders and
volunteer safety personnel violates the
above stated clauses of the United States
Constitution.
