Piccirillo  v.  New York

Certiorari to the Court of Appeals of New York

No. 97.  Argued: November 9, 1970 --- Decided: January 25, 1971

Writ of certiorari, granted to resolve question whether "transactional" rather than "use" immunity is constitutionally required to compel a witness to testify before a New York grand jury, is dismissed as improvidently granted in light of another decision by highest state court holding that transactional immunity is required in New York and that its earlier decision in the instant case may have rested on that premise.

24 N.Y. 2d 598, 249 N.E. 2d 412, certiorari dismissed.


Malvine Nathanson argued the cause for petitioner. With her on the briefs was William E. Hellerstein.

Stanley M. Meyer argued the cause for respondent. With him on the brief was Eugene Gold.

PER CURIAM.
