Lead Opinion

In re: Raymond Gatlin applying for supervisory and remedial writs.

Writ denied. The showing made does not warrant interference with the orderly proceedings in the trial court. Applicant has an adequate remedy by appeal in the event of conviction.





Concurrence Opinion

DIXON, J.,

concurs in the denial. Although defendant cannot constitutionally be deprived of his rights to subpoena of witnesses and records, his subpoena to the bank does not name a person, and is vague as to records sought. His subpoena to Florida appears overbroad and oppressive. Nevertheless, since there is danger of reversal of a conviction in the event of error in denying a subpoena, great care should be exercised.
