UNITED STATES V. WOODRUFF
383 F.Supp 696 (1974)
NATURE OF THE CASE: United States (P) intending to seek an indictment against Woodruff
(D) t on charges of bail jumping under 18 U.S.C.S. 3150, moved to compel D's counsel to
disclose whether D was informed of and understood the time and place of his trial.
FACTS: While awaiting trial, Woodruff (D) jumped bail. The government intends to seek an
indictment against D on bail jumping charges. The government is seeking an order for the
public defender who represented D to respond to questions regarding whether he advised D as
to the time and place of the trial, and as to whether D acknowledged that he understood. D's
counsel argued that the compelled disclosure violated the attorney-client privilege. The
court granted P's motion on the grounds that communications between D and his counsel as to
the trial date did not involve the subject matter of D's legal problem and were thus not
protected by the attorney-client privilege.
