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

show report of presentence investigation to

32:33, p.15. (Underscoring supplied). Failure of

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

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

probation report which will affect their lives,

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

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.
