Section 18 U.S.C. § 3142(e) provides: DETENTION.-If, after a hearing pursuant to the provisions of sub- section (f), the judicial officer finds that no condition or combin- ation of conditions will reason- ably assure the appearance of the person as required and the safety of any other person and the com- munity, he shall order the deten- tion of the person prior to trial. In a case described in (t)(1), a rebut- table presumption arises that no condition or combination of con- ditions will reasonably assure the safety of any other person and the community if the judge finds that- 11) the person has been con- victed of a Federal offense that is described in subsection (f)(1), or of a State or local offense that would have been an offense de- scribed in subsection (f)(1) if a circumstance giving rise to Feder- al jurisdiction had existed; "(2) the offense described in para- graph (1) was committed while the person was on release pending trial for a Federal, State, or local offense; and "(3) a period of not more than five years has elapsed since the date of conviction, or the release of the person from imprisonment, for the Page 2 of 10 Page 2 offense described in paragraph (1), whichever is later. Subjject to rebuttal by the person, it shall be presumed that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the appearance of the person as required and the safety of the community if the ju- dicial officer finds that there is probable cause to believe that the person committed an offense for which a maximum term of impris- onment of ten years or more is prescribed in the Controlled Sub- stances Act (21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act (21 U.S.C. 951 et seq.), section 1 of the Act of September 15, 1980 (21 U.S.C. 955a), or an offense under section 924(c) of title 18 of the United States Code."

The judicial officer shall enter an order of revocation and detention if, after a hearing, the judicial officer- "(1) finds that there is- "(A) probable cause to believe that the person has committed a Federal, State, or local crime while on release; or "(B) clear and convincing evid- ence that the person has violated any other condition of his release; and "(2) fords that- "(A) based on the factors set forth in section 3142(g), there is no condition or combination of con- ditions of release that will assure that the person will not flee or pose a danger to the safety of any other person or the community; or "(B) the person is unlikely to abide by any condition or combin- ation of conditions of release. If there is probable cause to be- lieve that, while on release, the person committed a Federal, State, or local felony, a rebuttable presumption arises that no condi- tion or combination of conditions will assure that the person will not pose a danger to the safety of any other person or the community. If the judicial officer finds that there are conditions of release that will assure that the person will not flee or pose a danger to the safety of Page 3 any other person or the com- munity, and that the person will abide by such conditions, he shall treat the person in accordance with the provisions of section 3142 and may amend the condi- tions of release accordingly." *54 On September 19, 1983, a federal grand jury returned a twenty count indict- ment against Zannino and six others. The charges related to murders, gambling, and other illegal acts. When first brought be- fore the magistrate on September 20, 1983, Zannino was ordered held without bail on the grounds that no conditions of pretrial release would reasonably assure his ap- pearance at trial. Eventually, however, terms for release on bail were set. In his or- der dated December 23, 1983, the magis- trate expressly found that Zannino posed a serious and substantial threat to the safety of the community and that, were it not for the fact that he had no authority to detain the defendant under the 1966 Bail Reform Act on those grounds, he would unhesitat- ingly order Zannino held without bail pending trial. Zannino was, therefore, re- leased on bail in early January, 1984. Shortly after the passage of the Bail Re- form Act of 1984 in October of that year, the Government filed a motion to revoke bail as to Zannino and to hold a detention hearing, alleging, as grounds thereof, the previous findings of the magistrate con- cerning dangerousness to the community and the provision of the new 1984 Act which now provided for restrictive deten- tion without bail under those circum- stances. 18 U.S.C. § 3142(e) (1984). Addi- tionally, the Government submitted affi- davits to support a finding of probable cause that the defendant had committed a felony while on pretrial release, which un- O 2008 Thomson/West.

.761 F.2d 52 761 F.2d 52 (Cite as: 761 F.2d 52) der the 1984 Act was grounds for revoca- tion of bail. 18 U.S.C. § 3148(b) (1984). The magistrate denied the motion, finding that the 1984 Act did not apply to pending cases in which the defendant was already released on bail. In his order, however, he once again reiterated his conclusion that no condition or combination of conditions could reasonably assure the safety "of any other person" or the community in the ab- sence of Zannino's pretrial detention. The magistrate's denial was thereafter affirmed by the district court and the government appealed. Thus, the specific issue before us is whether Sections 3142(e), which provides for the pretrial detention, and 3148(b), which provides for bail revoca- tion, apply to a defendant released on bail prior to the effective date of the 1984 en- actmentsim FN2. Inasmuch as the constitution- ality of a retrospective application of the 1984 Act is not now being challenged, the case must turn on the intent of Congress. The Supreme Court has held that the feder- al courts must apply the law in effect at the time it renders its decision, unless doing so would result in manifest injustice *55 or where there is clear statutory direction or gislative history to the contrary. Bradley Richmond School Board, 416 U.S. 696, 11, 94 S.Ct. 2006, 2016, L.Ed.2d 476 (1974). See United States Gennaro J. Angiulo, 755 F.2d 969, 970 1st Cir.198 (Breyer, J.); New England ower Co. United States, 693 F.2d 239, 244 (1st Cir.1982). Furthermore, and more to the point, it is clear that the conditions under which a defendant is originally released on bail are subject to review when changed circumstances require that the release be reappraised. Page 4 of 10 Page 4 That the decision releasing Zannino was not unalterable and, even as originally is- sued, was subject to revision at any time prior to trial, is particularly, evidenced by the text of the section of the pre-1984 Act under which he was released: A judicial officer ordering the release of a person on any condition specified in this section may at any time amend his order to impose additional or different conditions of release. Provided that, if imposition of such additional or different conditions res- ults in the detention of the person as a res- ult of his inability to meet such conditions or in the release of the person on a condi- tion requiring him to return to custody, subsection (d) [requiring review] shall ap- ply- (Emphasis in original). Bail Reform Act of 1966, 18 U.S.C. § 3146(e), repealed by Bail Reform Act of 1984, 18 U.S.C. § 3142(c). Thus the decision regarding the terms of bail may be considered to have been an open matter, subject to post-bail release review, even before the 1984 Act was passed on October 12th. We thus look to the situation created by the passage of the 1984 Act, to ascertain whether an individual in Zannino's position should in effect receive a privilege vis- a-vis all defendants charged after October 12th, notwithstanding the pendency of all their proceedings. Since nothing in the new Act or its legislative history suggests that the new Act does not apply, Bradley re- quires that we look to the "justice" or "injustice" o the new Act's application.

Page 5 of 10 761 F.2d 52 761 F.2d 52 (Cite as: 761 F.2d 52) a stronger argument to support his conten- tion that the pretrial detention provisions did not apply to his case. Id. By positing this hypothetical, we were not creating a hard and fast rule. Closer examination, within the context of an actual case and controversy, does not support this excep- tion to the retroactivity of the new Act. Section 3146(e) of the 1966 Act clearly states that conditions of the release can be changed, and that the inability to meet such conditions could require the return to cus- tody. Thus the release on bail allowed un- der the 1966 Act was not an absolute grant; defendants were given notice that a change in conditions or terms could bring about the revocation of the release. That statute, furthermore, created no expectation that conditions would not change. What has actually occurred with the pas- sage of the pretrial detention provision may be considered a statutorily mandated change in those conditions. That is, under Section 3142(e) of the 1984 Act, for a de- fendant to be eligible for pretrial bail, he must be able in certain instances to rebut the presumption that no condition or com- bination of conditions will reasonably as- sure the safety of "any other person and the community." 18 U.S.C. § 3142(e). We hold that defendants released under the 1966 Bail Act must show their continued eligib- ility for bail by meeting the newly imposed conditions if this issue is affirmatively raised by the Government. Moreover, in the case at bar, Zannino had further indication of possible revocation of bail in that the magistrate, upon both grant- ing the motion for bail and denying the government's motion for revocation of bail, emphatically stated that he found the ap- pellee to be a danger to the community and that, had a legal mechanism by which he Page 5 could detain Zannino existed, he would have done so. This clearly constituted no- tice*56 to appellee that a change of condi- tion, such as has occurred by the passage of the 1984 Act allowing pretrial detention for dangerousness, would call for reevalu- ation of his release. Under the manifest injustice standard of Bradley, supra, the disappointment of private expectations that results from the implementation of a new rule must be bal- anced against public interest in the enforce- ment of that rule. New England Power Co., supra, 693 F.2d at 245; A s Nursing dr Home of Williamstown, Inc. Mathews, 548 F.2d 1077, 1080 (1st Ci , .1977). Im- portant public policy considerations dic- tated the enactment of a pretrial detention mechanism whereby the community could be safeguarded from the "alarming prob- lem" of crimes committed "by demon- strably dangerous defendants" while on pretrial release. See Report of the Commit- tee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, on 5.1762, S.Rep. No. 225, 98th Cong., 1st Sess. at 1, 5-7(1984), U.S.Code Cong. & Admin.News 1984, pp. 3182, 3184, 3187-3189. Logic and common sense, as well as the new Act's legislative history, dictate application of the new conditions to all dangerous defendants, including those previously released because of the lack of judicial power to prevent such a result. Congress could scarcely have been plainer in indicating the concerns which prompted passage of the 1984 Act. S.Rep. No. 225, for example, explicitly remarked the need to confer "authority to deny release to those defendants who pose an especially grave risk to the safety of the community." Id. at 5. Furthermore, "[fin the Committee's view, it is intolerable that the law denies judges the tools to make honest and appro- 2008 Thomson/West. No Claim to Orig. U.S. Govt.

761 F.2d 52 761 F.2d 52 ' (Cite as: 761 F.2d 52) priate decisions regarding the release of such defendants." This is strong talk, couched in a sense of legislative urgency. It is inconceivable to us that, in the face of such concerns, the Congress meant for the courts to temporize in the application of the pretrial release provisions of the 1984 Act by interdicting the use of such detention powers in any suitable case, whether or not the accused had previously been released under the more relaxed criteria of the 1966 Act. The legislative history, fairly read, represents a clear statutory directive favor- ing applicability of the new pretrial release scheme across the board. Indeed, the basic purposes of the new Act, as we delineated them in Angiulo, at 971-972, lead to the same conclusion. The statistics cited by our dissenting broth- er are similarly unconvincing. The small- ness of the potentially affected group is transmutable: it can be used just as power- fully to argue for, as against, the applicab- ility of the 1984 Act. Neither this conten- tion nor its corollary-ease in judicial ad- ministration-therefore cuts much ice. Even a single dangerous defendant left free to wreak havoc under circumstances where pretrial detention is constitutionally per- missible and legally appropriate is one menace too many; and, if the price of pro- tecting the public is more work for already overtaxed judges, it is a small price to pay for the wellbeing of the community. Finding that, under the circumstances of this case, the defendant's expectation to re- main free on bail is minimal, and is clearly outweighed by the public interest in protec- tion from demonstrably dangerous defend- ants and that his professed reliance on lim- itless future liberty up to the date of his tri- al was, in these circumstances, unjustified, we conclude that under the Bradley and Page 6 of 10 Page 6 New England Power Co. standards, Sec- tions 3142(e) and 3148(b) apply retroact- ively to Zannino, and that the government is entitled to a hearing before the magis- trate on the merits of the issues raised by its motion to revoke. We recognize that other courts have reach a et contrary conclusion, e.g., United States Ferncindez-Toledo, 749 F.2d 703, 705 (1 Cir.1985), and we do not lightly create a split among the circuits. Yet, mindful of the nature of the rights in- volved, the impact of the change in law upon those rights, the will of the Congress, and the substantial public interest which we perceive to be at stake, we must re- spectfully disagree with the rationale of the Eleventh Circuit. The Ferniindez-Toledo*S7 panel, without in- depth analysis of either the provisions of the 1966 Act or the legislative history of the 1984 Act, held under circumstances comparable to those at bar that the defend- ant's "rights to bail had already vested,"id., and therefore declined to give the new law retrospective effect in such a situation. We are not of a similar mind. To be "vested," a thing must be "fixed; ... settled; absolute ...; not contingent." H. Black, Black's Law Dictionary at 1401 (5th Ed.1979). The ces- sion of bail partakes of none of these char- acteristics; it is a privilege extended, as even the 1966 Act evidenced, on a contin- gent, nonabsolute basis, entirely. subject to the dynamics of change, consistent with applicable law and fundamental fairness. For the reasons which we have noted above, we do not view Zannino's right to release on bail as having been "vested" in any meaningful sense of that term and we see no sufficient reason why he should be immune from the provisions of the 1984 Act in this regard. 4D 2008 Thomson/West.

The issue in this case is whether the provi- sion of the new Bail Act that provides for detention of "dangerous" persons, 18 U.S.C. § 3142(0, applies to a person already released on bail the day the new Act was passed (October 12, 1984). This court has previously suggested (though it did not expressly hold) that Congress did not intend this provision of the Act to sla ap- ply, in a sense "retr ctively," to those persons. United States Anguilo, 755 F.2d 969, 970 (1st Cir.198 . I believe the sug- gestion is correct for the following reasons. First, it is "manifestly unfair" to apply the new detention provision to those released b ore on bail b ore the new law was passed. See Bradley Richmond School Board, 416 U.S. 69 , 711, 94 S.Ct. 2006, 2016, 40 L.Ed.2d 476 (1974). Magistrates and judges specifically gave those defendants their provisional freedom. The defendants in all likelihood relied on the fact that (in the absence of misbehavior) they would re- main free to prepare their trial defense, to interview witnesses, to consult with their attorneys. Trials, for most members of this class, must be imminent. Application of the new standard to members of this class threatens to interfere severely with ongoing defense preparations, not only because it may place a defendant behind bars just be- fore trial, but also because even appearance at a bail revocation hearing, at this stage in the new Act's life, involves briefing and ar- guing a host of novel and difficult legal is- sues, threatening significantly to divert counsel's and client's attention and energies away from the trial on the merits nearly at hand. This burden, along with the likely surprise, adds up to a serious, adverse in- Page 7 I terference with a settled expec lion. That means "unfairness." See Myers Hawkins, 362 So.2d 926, 933 n. 25 ( a.1978) (" 'One of the fundamental considerations of fairness recognized in every legal system is that settled expectations honestly arrived at with respect to substantial interests ought not to be defeated.' ") (quoting 2 Sands, Sutherland Statutory Construction § 41.05 at 261 (4th ed. 1973)). Second, not to apply the detention provi- sion of the new Act to previously released defendants does not interfere significantly with Congress's objective: giving judges a way to deal with "dangerous" defendants. The number of persons already free on bail (as of October 12) is rapidly diminishing. The Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts reports that ap- proximately 18,000 indictments or charges are pending at any one time. The average length of time between charge and trial is 4.4 months. Thus even if all federal de- fendants facing charges on October 12 were on release (with an average time of 2.2 months remaining before trial), by now (April 1985) there must be only a handful of pre-October 12 defendants whose trials have not yet begun. Can one say that, in terms of Congressional purpose, it is of critical importance to apply the new Act to this small (and diminishing) class of per- sons,*58 when Congress itself considered adoption of this "dangerous person" provi- sion for almost twenty years? SeeS.Rep. No. 225, 98th Cong., 1st Sess. 7 & n. 19 (1983), reprinted in1984 U.S.Code Cong. 4Fc Ad.News 3182, 3189 & n. 19 (Supp. 9A). Third, the courts that have considered this question have held that the Act does not to this class of persons. United States Fernandez-Toledo, 749 F.2d 703, 705 @ 2008 Thomson/West. No Claim to Orig.

Page 8 of 10 '761 F.2d 52 761 F.2d 52 (Cite as: 761 F.2d 52) (11th Cir.1985) (per curiam) (holding that such persons have rights that have "vested" and that "it would be manifestly unjust" to ply the new Act to them); United States Mitchell, 600 F.Supp. 164 .D.Ca1.1985) ("Congress apparently did not contemplate that individuals released pursuant to [the old Act] would be subject to sanctions gilder [the new Act]."); see United States I Payden, 759 F.2d 202 (2d Cir.1985) (reversing district court decision ordering detention, under provisions of the new Bail Act, of defendant whose release had been ordered pursuant to provisions of the old Bail Act). Even were I less con- vinced of the correctness of Anvil°, I would hesitate to create a split in the cir- cuits over this particular legal issue. Fourth, there is additional support in the language of the new Bail Act itself. The new Act does not contain a provision that allows the government to recall a defend- ant solely for the purpose of applying the new, stricter standard of release. The new Act (like the old) does provide for recon- sideration and modification of release con- ditions, see§ 3142(c) (allowing imposition of "additional or different conditions of re- lease"), but this provision does not author- ize a "modification" that changes a release order into an unconditional detention or- der. The new Act also permits the govern- ment to seek bail revocation, see§ 3148, but only if the government can show that the defendant has violated his release con- ditions. Of course, there is substantial au- thority for the proposition that courts have an "inherent power" to revoke bail when necessary to insure the defendant's appear- ance ' or to protect the integrity o he judi- cial process. See, e.g., Carbo United States, 82 S.Ct. 662, 667-69, 7 L. .2d 769 (Douglas, Circuit Justice) (prof tion of witnesses) (1962); Fernandez United Page 8 States, 81 S.Ct. 642, 5 L.Ed.2d 683 (1961) (Harlan, Circuit Judge) (protection of wit- nesses and "ollerly progress of the trial"); United States Abrahams, 575 F.2d 3 (1st Cir.) (risk of ight), cert. denied,439 U.S. 821, 99 S.Ct. 1 5, 58 L.Ed.2d 112 (1978); United States Melville, 306 F.Supp. 124, 127 (S.D.N.Y. 969) (same); United States Graewe, 689 F.2d 54 (6th Cir.1982) (per curiam) (protection of witn es and judi- cial process); United States I Gilbert, 425 F.2d 490 (D.C.Cir.1969) (per curi (protection of witnesses); United States Bentvena, 288 F.2d 442 (2d Cir.196 (integrity of judicial proceedings); cf United States Anguilo, supra, at 972. But there is no authority extending that "inher- ent " power to instances of defendant "dangerousness." Finally, the legislative history of the new Act, as the majority effectively concedes, proves little. Its language demonstrates congressional concern both for preventing crimes and for treating accused persons fairly. See, e.g., S.Rep., supra, at 22 (noting "the importance of the interests of the defendant which are implicated in a pretrial detention hearing" and the "due process" considerations in establishing the procedural requirements of the new Act). The arguments advanced in favor of apply- ing the new provision (in a sense) retro- actively to those previously released are unconvincing. The government says that, if the new Act does not apply in its entirety to these defendants, then no law applies to them, for Congress repealed the old 1966 Bail Reform Act as of October 12, 1984. This argument is incorrect. When, for some reason or other, a new provision in a new law does not (or cannot) apply to a particu- lar situation or person, courts typically hold that the former law survives and gov- C 2008 Thomson/West.

Page 9 of 10 761 F.2d 52 • 761 F.2d 52 (Cite as: 761 F.2d 52) erns that circumstance or person, whether or not the new law "expressly" repeals the old law as of a certain date. Thus, for ex- ample, Congress has repealed the Youth Corrections Act as of October 12, 1984, see*59Pub.L. No. 98473, Title II, § 218(a)(8), 98 Stat. 1837, 2027 (1984), but, as the Department of Justice has recog- nized, it may be unconstitutional under the ex post facto clause to apply certain por- tions of Congress's substitute to certain de- fendants who committed crimes prior to that date. See U.S. Dept. of Justice, Hand- book on the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 and Other Criminal Statutes Enacted by the 98th Congress 32 (1984). As to those persons, the Department says, 1 the old (repealed) law wi still apply. Id. See also United States Romero, 596 F.Supp. 446 (D.N.M.1984 . A similar ap- proach in this case is in accord with well established lel precedent. See, e.g., United States Payden, supra (holding that defendant's bail status should be de- termined under provisions of old Bail Act, even after its repeal, where bail application had first been considered under provisio of old Act); United States Gypsum Co. . Uhlhorn, 232 F.Supp. 994, 1 (E.D.Ark.1964), aff'd,366 F.2d 211 (8th Cir.I966), cert. denied,385 U.S. 1026, S.Ct. 753, 17 L.Ed.2d 674 (1967); State McMillin, 150 Cob. 23, 370 P.2d 435 1962) (en bane); In re Opinion of the Justices, 1 N.H. 563, 198 A. 249 (1938); Waddell Mamat, 271 Wis. 176, 72 N.W.2d 7 (1955); see generally82 C.J.S. Statutes § 435 at 1010-11 (1953). Thus, to hold that Congress did not intend to apply the "dangerous person" provision retroact- ively does not create a legal vacuum. The government also argues that it is not unfair to apply the new provision to this particular defendant because he did not in Page 9 fact rely upon guarantees of continued freedom. It does not make sense here, however, to apply an "unfairness" test on a case-by-case basis. The very act of doing so creates unfair burdens, for it injects a new, and potentially unresolvable, issue in- to each bail revocation proceeding. Rather, to prevent serious unfairness the Act must not apply to the class of persons already re- leased on bail on October 12, avoiding un- fairness by creating a bright, judicially ad- ministrable line. Further, the government argues that not to apply the new provision retroactively leaves it without a remedy against one (allegedly like the defendant here) who commits a crime while free on bail. This is not so. For one thing the government could indict the person for that crime (whether it was committed before or after October 12, 1984), at which point the government could seek his detention under the new law. For another thing, the new Bail Act al- lows the magistrate to attach a new condi- tion to a defendant's pre-October 12 bail order-the condition that he not commit new crimes while on release. To attach this con- dition to the bail of one previously released does not seem unfair. Indeed, the old Act provides magistrates and udges with the express authority to modi release condi- tions. Seel8 U.S.C. § 3 46(e) (repealed October 12, 1984). In this case, the magis- trate attached a condition on October 31, 1984, that Zannino not commit any crimes while on release. Thus, Zannino's release conditions currently (and lawfully) permit revocation if the government shows that he has committed crimes after October 31, 1984. See§ 3148(b). In addition, the gov- ernment is free to seek his indictment for any offense committed before that date, or to seek further modification of his release conditions, § 3142(c). O 2008 Thomson/West.

Page 10 of 10 '761 F.2d 52 761 F.2d 52 (Cite as: 761 F.2d 52) Finally, the majority points to a provision in the former 1966 law that allows a magis- trate to impose "additional or different con- ditions of release" upon a person free on bail. Bail Reform Act of 1966, 18 U.S.C. § 3146(e), repealed by Bail Reform Act of 1984, 18 U.S.C. § 3142(c). The majority thinks the existence of this provision makes it more fair to apply the new law retroactively to those already free on bail. I disagree, basically because a new "release' condition seems to me very dif- ferent from an unconditional detention or- der. For the foregoing reasons, I believe Con- gress did not intend the "dangerous person detention" provision of the new Bail Act to apply to those already free on bail on October 12. And, I would affirm the judgment of the district court. C.A.).(Mass.),1985. U.S. Zannino 761 .2d 52 END OF DOCUMENT O 2008 Thomson/West. No Claim to Orig. U.S. Govt. Works.

OPINION ON REHEARING EN BANC These separate appeals from the District of Utah and the District of Colorado present important questions under the Bail Reform Act of 1984 ("Act"), enacted as part of the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984, Title II of Pub.L. No. 98-473, 98 Stat. 1976, approved October 12, 1984. This court ordered rehearings en banc which were heard on March 12, 1985 in each case. This opinion disposes of the is- sues in both cases concerning bail pending appeal. I Facts A. Affleck Defendant Grant C. Affleck was convicted in the District of Utah on October 5, 1984 after a jury trial of six counts of security fraud,FNI one count of bankruptcy fraud,FN2 and one count of interstate transportation of a person to defraud."° On that date, the district court ordered Af- fleck released*946 on a $75,000 bond pending sentencing. The district court found that Affleck did not pose a danger to others or to the community, and that he was not likely to flee. FN1. 15 U.S.C. § 78j; 17 C.F.R. § 240-10b-5. FN2. 18 U.S.C. §§ 152, 2.

765 F.2d 944 765 F.2d 944, 53 USLW 2628 (Cite as: 765 F.2d 944) On November 16, Affleck was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment and five years' probation. On November 19, Affleck filed a notice of appeal. On November 20 the district court, in response to Affleck's ex parte motion, stayed execution of the sen- tence upon filing of the same bond main- tained by Affleck during the trial. The dis- trict court found that Affleck posed "no im- mediate threat of fleeing during appeal and no immediate danger to society during that period." VIII R. 1438-39. On November 21, the Government filed a motion in the district court to reconsider its order staying execution of Affleck's sen- tence and ordering his release pending ap- peal, or in the alternative, to hold an exped- ited hearing and to make the findings to support such an order as required by 18 § 3143(b), as amended by the new Act. Section 203(a) of the Act changed the standards governing release of convicted defendants on bail pending appeal. Under former 18 U.S.C. §§ 3146 and 3148, convicted defendants were entitled to re- lease on bail pending appeal unless no one or more conditions of release would reas- onably assure that they would not flee or pose a danger to any other person or to the community, or unless their appeal was frivolous or taken for purpose of delay. The burden was on the Government under the former law to show that the appeal was frivolous and was taken for purpose of delay; the defendant bore the burden of showing he would not flee and was not a danger to any person or the community. See also former Fed.R.App.P. 9(c). The Act changed the criteria for release on bail pending appeal and placed the burden on the convicted defendant to prove that he meets all the new criteria. Current 18 U.S.C. § 3143(b) provides as follows: Page 4 of 24 Page 4 Release or Detention Pending Appeal by the Defendant.-The judicial officer shall order that a person who has been found guilty of an offense and sentenced to a term of imprisonment, and who has filed an appeal or a petition for a writ of certi- oran, be detained, unless the judicial of- ficer finds- (1) by clear and convincing evidence that the person is not likely to flee or pose a danger to the safety of any other person or the community if released pursuant to section 3142(b) or (c); and (2) that the appeal is not for purpose of delay and raises a substantial ques- tion of law or fact likely to result in re- versal or an order for a new trial. Act § 203(a), 98 Stat. 1981-82 (emphasis added); see alsoFed.R.App.P. 9(c), as amended by Act § 210, 98 Stat. 1987. Affleck principally argued below that he was entitled to bail pending appeal because the former law entitled him to that relief, and that application to him of the new Act would violate the a post facto clause. After a hearing, the district court on December 11 vacated its earlier order. The court held that Affleck had established by clear and convincing evidence under § 3143(b)(1) that he was not likely to flee or pose a danger to the safety of any other person or to the community if he were re- leased on a $75,000 bond pending appeal. The court also held that Affleck had estab- lished that his appeal was not taken for purpose of delay under § 3143(bX2). The court denied bail, however, because Af- fleck did not establish that his appeal raised a substantial question of law or fact likely to result in reversal or an order for a new trial under § 3143(bX2). VIII R. 1490. The court also held that application of the C 2008 Thomson/West. No Claim to Orig. U.S. Govt.

765 F.2d 944 765 F.2d 944, 53 USLW 2628 (Cite as: 765 F.2d 944) new criteria of § 3143(b) to deny Affleck bail pending appeal did not violate the ex post facto clause, even though he would have been entitled to bail under the law in effect when the offenses were committed and when the guilty verdicts were returned. Id. at 1491-95. B. Kowalik Defendant Frank Kowalik, Jr. was con- victed in the District of Colorado on September 19, 1984 after a jury trial of two *947 counts of willfully failing to file fed- eral income tax returns in violation of I.R.C. § 7203. On November 14 the district court sentenced Kowalik to one year of im- prisonment and a $10,000 fine on each count. The district court on that date also ordered Kowalik's release pending appeal upon filing of a $20,000 bond. The court found that Kowalik did not pose a danger to the community and was not likely to flee. I IL 123. Also on November 14 Kowalik filed a no- tice of appeal and sought release on the ap- peal bond, but the magistrate concluded that release was inappropriate absent find- ings by the district court under § 3143(b). Kowahk principally argued that he was en- titled to bail pending appeal under the former law. He also contended that he raised substantial questions likely to result in reversal or an order for a new trial under the new Act. He argued that the trial court erred in its instructions because they did not properly treat his defenses of not will- fully and knowingly intending a violation of the tax law, and that the instructions did not properly cover the effect of evidence from his character witnesses. After a hear- ing on November 15, the district court va- cated its earlier order permitting Kowalik to be released on bail pending appeal. The Page 5 of 24 Page 5 court found that Kowalik had established by clear and convincing evidence under § 3143(b)(2) that he was not a threat to any other person or to the community and was not likely to flee. IX R. 4-5. However, the court held that Kowalik's appeal did not raise a substantial question of law or fact likely to result in reversal or an order for a new trial under § 3143(bX2), and denied bail. Id. at 3. C. Proceedings in this court Both Affleck and Kowalik challenge the district courts' denial of their motions for release pending appeal. A panel of this court denied the motions for release pending appeal."" On its own motion this court, by order of a majority of its act- ive circuit judges on February 1, 1985, granted rehearing en banc of of the court's earlier orders denying the motions for re- lease pending appeal.nd We expedited these cases for argument at our March term of court and asked counsel to brief and ar- gue the effect of the new § 3143(b) stand- ards in these cases. We now address vari- ous issues concerning the application to these defendants of the new § 3143(b) cri- teria for release pending appeal. FN4. Kowalik's petition for a stay pending appeal was denied by order of a panel of this court on Decem- ber 4, 1984.

765 F.2d 944 765 F.2d 944, 53 USLW 2628 (Cite as: 765 F.2d 944) Effective Date and the Ex Post Facto Clause A. Effective date Affleck asserts that Congress did not in- tend the Bail Reform Act to apply to those convicted of crimes before October 12, 1984. He relies on cases holding that other provisions of the Bail Reform Act do not apply to defendants released bail before gp that date. See United States I Fernandez- Toledo, 749 F.2d 703 (11th Cir.1985) (§ 3731, which permits the Government to real order granting bail); United States Mitchell, 600 F.Supp. 164 (N.D.Ca1.198 (§ 3142, which provides for retrial deten- tion). But see United States I Anguilo, 755 F.2d 969, 970-74 (1st Cir.1985) (application of pretrial detention provi- sions of new Act to a defendant incarcer- ated and seeking release r October 12). Affleck also cites Greene United States, 376 U.S. 149, 84 S.Ct. 615, 11 L.Ed.2d 576 (1964), and argues that criminal statutes like § 3143(b) should not be given retro- spective operation where to do so would interfere with antecedent rights. See also Fernandez-Toledo, 749 F.2d at 705 (defendant released on bail prior to effect- ive date of the Act had a vested, antecedent right to bail). *948 [1][2] We are not persuaded by these cases that the Act should not apply to a de- fendant like Affleck, convicted before Oc- tober 12, who seeks bail pending appeal after that date. There is no constitutional right to bail ending appeal. See, e.g., United States Provenzano, 602 F.Supp. 230, 232 (E.D a.1985); United States a rel. Cameron New York, 383 F.Supp. 182, 183 (E.D. .Y.1974).ms In these cir- cumstances, we hold that § 3143(b), in the Page 6 of 24 Page 6 absence of a showing of congressional in- tent to the contrary, became fully effective on October 12 when the President ap- proved the Act. Section 3143(b) therefore applies to Affleck even though he was con- victed before the effe 've date of the Act.

The ex post facto clause [3] Affleck and Kowalik both argue that application to them of the new 3143(b)(2) standards governing bail pending appeal violates the ex post facto clause because they were convicted before the effective date of the Act.

See United States Powell, 761 F.2d 1227, 1234 (8th .1985) (en bane) (footnote omitted) ("Admission to bail pending appeal is, for Ex Post Facto Clause purposes, 'procedural'.

In reaching this conclusion, we are mind of the Supreme Court's decision in Kring Missouri, 107 U.S. 221, 2 S.Ct. 443, L.Ed. 506 (1883). In Krin,g, the Court held that an ex post facto violation had occurred where the Missouri courts had imposed a death penalty by a second sentence in a murder case. A former plea of guilty to a second degree murder charge had resulted in a twenty-five year sentence; the defend- ant appealed and the judgment was re- versed. Under Missouri law in force when the homicide was committed, the first sen- tence constituted an acquittal of first de- gree murder. Before retrial, the state law was changed so that this effect of an ac- quittal of first degree murder no longer op- erated. The defendant refused to withdraw his plea of guilty to second degree murder or to reenter a not guilty plea to the first degree murder charge. The trial court ordered a general not guilty plea entered to the first degree murder charge. The retrial, guilty verdict and death sentence followed, which the Missouri courts *950 affirmed. The Supreme Court reversed. The Court upheld the ex post facto claim and rejected the contention that the change in state law was merely a change in criminal procedure.

765 F.2d 944 765 F.2d 944, 53 USLW 2628 (Cite as: 765 F.2d 944) But it cannot be sustained without des- troying the value of the constitutional provision, that a law, however it may in- vade or modify the rights of a party charged with crime, is not an ex post facto law, if it comes within either of these comprehensive branches of the law designated as Pleadings, Practice, and Evidence. Can the law with regard to bail, to in- dictments, to grand jury, to the trial jury, all be changed to the disadvantage of' the prisoner by State legislation after the of- fence was committed, and such legisla- tion not held to be ex post facto legisla- tion, because it relates to procedure, as it does according to [Bishop on Criminal Procedure]? And can any substantial right which the law gave the defendant at the time to which his guilt relates be taken away from him by a post facto legislation, be- cause, in the use of a modem phrase, it is called a law of procedure? We think it cannot. Id. at 232, 2 S.Ct. at 452 (emphasis added). We believe that Kring and its dictum re- specting bail must be read in light of later Supreme Court opinions on the ex post facto clause. In Beazell, for example, the Court stated that lepcpressions are to be found in earlier judicial opinions to the ef- fect that the [a post facto clause] may be transgressed by alterations in the rules of evidence or procedure." 269 U.S. at 170, 46 S.Ct. at 68 (citing Kraig, inter alia ). The Court conceded that there "may be procedural changes which operate to deny to the accused a defense available at the time of the commission of his offense, or which otherwise affect him in such a harsh and arbitrary manner as to fall within the Page 9 of 24 Page 9 constitutional prohibition." Id. The Court noted that "[j]ust what alterations of pro- cedure will be held to be of sufficient mo- ment to transgress the constitutional pro- hibition cannot be embraced within a for- mula or stated in a general proposition. The distinction is one of degree. But the consti- tutional provision was intended to secure substantial rights against arbitrary and op- pressive legislation."269 U.S. at 171, 46 S.Ct. at 69. In Kring, the Court explained that the ef- fect of the change in state law, which was denied application there as ex post facto, was that formerly conclusive evidence of innocence of the higher grade of murder could not be received at all, or was given no weight, and that the law on punishment was changed from a bar against the death penalty in such circumstances to a new law permitting such punishment. 107 U.S. at 228, 2 S.Ct. at 449. Although we are bound by that holding in Kring, we must view the statements concerning bail and procedural changes in Kring in light of the a post facto standards applied by the Court in sub- sequent cases. We are particularly per- suaded by the Court's more recent focus in ex post facto cases on the elements of the offense, the conditions and quantum of punishment, and the quantity and degree of proof nr , to establish guilt. See, e.g., Weaver Graham, 450 U.S. at 32-33, 101 S.Ct. at 6-967; Dobbert, 432 U.S. at 295, 97 S.Ct. at 2299. In light of these stand- ards, we conclude that there is no ex post facto violation here by application of the new restrictive rules goveming bail pending appeal, as now prescribed by § 3143(b)(2). ril We are unpe aded by the reasoning in United States Cirrincione, 600 F.Supp. 1436 (N.D.I11. 985).

Page 10 of 24 765 F.2d 944 765 F.2d 944, 53 USLW 2628 (Cite as: 765 F.2d 944) court held that § 3143(b)(2) violates the ex post facto clause. The court reasoned that a sentence which begins immediately is more severe than a sentence which commences after an unsuccessful appeal. Id. at 1443-46. The court said that "[w]hile the Supreme Court has not always been clear on the underlying rationales for the ex post facto clause, certainly one rationale is that an individual who acts in reliance upon the known criminal penalties for his acts must be punished in accordance with that reli- ance." Id. at 1444. *951 Although we agree that the ex post facto clauses protect an individual who acts in reliance on the known criminal penalties for his conduct, we cannot accept the Cir- rincione court's view that § 3143(bX2) af- fects the punishment imposed for such con- duct. A convicted defendant may wish to postpone serving his sentence until his ap- peal is decided, and certainly the § 3143(b)(2) standards for granting bail pending appeal are "more onerous' than those under the former law. However, § 3143(b)(2) does not in any way alter the "quantum of punishment' imposed on cnminal defendants, or the elements and required proof of the offense, which are the main focus of the Supreme Court's more recent decisions. Dobbert illustrates the fact that significant changes, even in the procedure for imposition of the death pen- alty, do not necessarily violate the ex post facto clause. Our conclusion is also supported by state court decisions which have upheld changes in statutes governing bail pending appeal against ex post facto challenges. For ex- ample, the Indiana Supreme Court has held that a state statute denying bail pending ap- peal by a habitual criminal was not ex post facto as applied to a defendant who com- Page 10 mitted the offense and was convicted be- fore the effectiv date of the statute. State . ex rel. Dorton Circuit Court of Elkhart County, 274 Ind. 373, 412 N.E.2d 72 (1980).Ft The court explained that the superseding statute did "not make an act cnminal which was legal before the statute; nor [did] it 'provide a greater punishment therefor than was prescribed at the time of commission.' " Id. at 74 (quoting Hopt Utah, 110 U.S. 574, 579, 4 S.Q. 202, , 28 L.Ed. 262 (1884)). FN10. The court explained that "[t]he necessity to protect society against further criminal acts by a convicted, but unpunished, person [by denying bail pending appeal] outweighs society's interest in pro- tecting persons who may have a re- versible conviction." 412 N.E.2d at 74. Moreover, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals has held that a state statute prohib- iting .bail pending appeal if a defendant was convicted of rape or forcible sodomy, among other things, was not ex post facto as applied to a defendant who committed 1 the offense befo he effective date of the statute. Spitznas ■ State, 648 P.2d 1271 (Okla.Cnm.App.I 2). The court con- cluded that the statute was procedural and did not inflict greater .punishment than the law imposed at the time the offense was committed. Id. at 1275-76. In addition, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals has held that a statute providing for pretrial detention of defendants charged with first degree murder was not ex post facto as applied to a defendant who committed the crime before the ffective date of the statute.

The court emphasized that the statute did not "impose (or increase) punishment ... or [make] formerly legal conduct a crime." Id. at 1314.nm FN11. But see Greene' State, 238 So.2d 296, 300-01 (Fla.1970) (application of bail statute to deny bail pending appeal from conviction on second felony violated ex post facto clauses where bail statute be- came effective after commission second felony); Cunningham State, 423 So.2d 5 (Fla.Dist.Ct.App.1982) (per curiam) (a post facto clause prohibited ap- plication of statute denying bail pending appeal of drug trafficking conviction to defendant who com- mitted offense before active date of statute); cf. Parker State, 667 P.2d 1272 (Alaska t.Ap .1983) (right to bail pending appeal suffi- ciently accrued at time of offense under state statute so that statute passed after date of offense but be- fore conviction which eliminated bail for persons convicted of certain Ellis State, 544 S.W.2d 908, 911 felon' did not apply to defendant); (Tenn. rim.App.1976) (statute denying bail pending appeal to de- fendants convicted of possession of controlled substances with intent to sell had "ex post facto overtones" when applied to defendants who were arrested after effective date of statute). We therefore hold that the § 3143(6)(2) standards governing bail pending appeal are not ex post facto as applied to a defend- ant where the offenses charged and the res- ulting convictions occurred before the ef- Page 11 fective date of the Act, but the sentences and the order by the district court denying bail pending appeal were entered after that date. *952 III Interpretation of 18 U.S.C. § 3143(b)(2) [4] Section 3143(b)(2) as amended by the Bail Reform Act requires that bail pending appeal be denied unless the court finds that the appeal "raises a substantial question of law or fact likely to result in reversal or an order for a new trial." The parties in both the Afileck and Kowalik cases contend that we should interpret this requirement in light of the two-step analysis ann n the Third Circuit in United States I 753 F.2d 19 (3d Cir.1985). The overn- ment, however, argue stricter inter- pretation * than that of should be ap- plied to determine w a constitutes a "substantial" question of law or fact. In the Third Circuit held that the language quoted above requires the court to make two determinations in order to grant bail pending appeal. First, the court must decide that the appeal raises a "substantial" question of law or fact. Second, "if that substantial question is de- termined favorably to defendant on appeal, that decision is likely to result in reversal or an order for a new trial of all counts on which imprisonment has been imposed." Id. at 24. This approach has bee followed in other cases.

We adopt the two-step analysis for determin- ing w e er to grant bail pending appeal under § 3143(b), but we apply a somewhat stricter interpretation of what constitutes a "substantial' question of law or fact, which we believe the statute and its purpose re- quire. What constitutes a "substantial" question under the first prong of this test must be considered in light of congressional intent. Under former § 3148, bail pending appeal would be denied if the appeal was "frivolous." The new Act was mtended to reverse the presumption in favor of bail pending appeal under the former law and to make the standards for granting bail pending appeal more stnngent. SeeS.Rep.No. 225, 98th Cong., 1st Sess. 26-27, reprinted in1984 U.S.Code Cong. & Ad.News 3182. [5] Accordingly, we agree with the Elev- enth Circuit that "a `substantial question' is one of more substance than would be ne- cessary to a finding that it was not frivol- ous. It is a `close' question or one that very well could be decided the othe " Gi- ancola, 754 F.2d at 901. In the Third Circuit said that a "substan r ues- tion under § 3143(6)(2) is one white is either novel, which has not been decided by controllaedent, or which is fairly doubtful." 753 F.2d at 23.F*02 We agree with eventh Circuit, however, that a question "which has not been de- cided by controlling precedent" may not be "substantial" under § 3143(b)(2). For ex- ample, an issue may be "so patently without merit that it has not been found ne- cessary for it to have been resolved.... Sim- ilarly, there might be no precedent in this Pane 12 circuit, but there may also be no real reason to believe that this circuit would depart from unanimous resolution of the issue by other circuits." Giancola, 754 F.2d at 901.FN13 In the final analysis, we cannot define blanket categories for what will con- stitute "substantial" questions under § 3143(b)(2). Therefore, whether a particular question is "substantial" must be determ- ined on a case-by-case basis, under the general guidelines we adopt as quoted above. See Giancola, 754 F.2d at 901. FN12. See also Handy, 761 F.2d at 1281 ("substantial" question is one that is "fairly debatable). FN13. Of course, a "substantial" question must be one which can be properly raised on appeal. See Gi- anola, 754 F.2d at 901 n. 4. The second prong of the p ttjest poses less of a definitional pro em. nder this second prong, bail pending appeal is *953 appropriate if, assuming that the "substantial question is determined favor- ably to defendant on appeal, that decision is likely to result in reversal or an order for . . a new trial of all counts on w pns- onment has been imposed." 753 F.2d at 24. The Third Circuit er ex- plained that this language must be read as going to the significance of the substantial issue to the ultimate disposition of the appeal. A question of law or fact may be substantial but may, nonetheless, in the circumstances of a particular case, be considered harmless, to have no prejudicial effect, or to have been insufficiently preserved.

Id. at 23.nm FN14. The Third Circuit rejected the view that § 3143(b)(2) requires the district court to grant bail pending appeal only upon finding that its own rulings were likely to be reversed on appeal for two reas- ons: In the first place, such a reading would render language in the stat- ute surplusage because every question that is likely to be re- versed must by definition be "substantial". In the second place, we are unwilling to attribute to Congress the cynicism that would underlie the provision were it to be read as requiring the district court to determine the likelihood of its own error. A district judge who, on reflection, concludes that s/he erred may rectify that error when ruling on post-trial motions. Judges do not knowingly leave substantial errors uncorrected, or deliberately misconstrue applic- able precedent. Thus, it would have been capricious of Congress to have conditioned bail only on the willingness of a trial judge to certify his or her own error. For a similar reason, the phrase "likely to result in reversal or an order for a new trial" cannot reas- onably be construed to require the district court to predict the prob- ability of reversal. The federal courts are not to be put in the pos- ition of "bookmakers" who trade Page 13 on the probability of ultimate out- come. 753 F.2d at 23; see also Po slap op. at 2 n 2; Handy, 761 F.2d at 1280; Giancola, 754 F.2d at 900. In sum, we hold that in order to grant bail pending appeal, a court must find that the defendant has met his burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that he is not likely to flee or pose a danger to the safety of any other person or to the com- munity if released under § 3143(6)(1), and that he has established under § 3143(b)(2) FN15 that the appeal is not for purpose of delay, and: FNI5. We note that, unlike § 3143(b)(1), § 3143(b)(2) does not require that the showing be made by "clear and convincing evidence.' We therefore conclude that a de- fendant must only prove the § 3143(b)(2) criteria under the ordin- ary preponderance of the evidence standard. [1.] that the appeal raises a substantial question of law or fact; and [2.] that if that substantial question is de- termined favorably to defendant on ap- peal, that decision is likely to result in re- versal or an order for a new trial of all counts on which imprisonment has been imposed.

In Kowalik, however, both the de- fendant and the Government apparently agree that a remand is not appropriate. Kowalik argues that we should grant him bail pending appeal under the test he es- pouses, while the Government argues that we should deny bail under the standard it proposes. We conclude that the proper disposition is to remand both cases for the district court to make findings and conclusions under the standard for determining bail on appeal which we adopt today. The Third and Elev- enth .' Circuits made this ' sition in *954Miller and Giancola. 753 F.2d at 24; Giancola, 754 F. a 901 & n. 5.FNI6 This disposition comports with Fed.R.App.P. 9(b). Rule 9(b) requires that applications for bail pending appeal be made "in the first instance in the district court." Id. The rule also requires the dis- trict court to "state in writing the reasons" if the court denies release pending appeal or imposes conditions on release. Id. The rule contemplates that the district court is in a better position to evaluate, in the first instance, the propriety of granting bail pending appeal. The rule also aids our ap- pellate function by requiring the district court to make written findings and conclu- sions. FN16. In Polin, a single judge of ourth Circuit adopted the standard and agreed with the isstricci court's denial of bail pending appeal because the defend- Page 14 ant did not meet his burden of showing that his appeal raised a "substantial" question. Polin, slip op. at 3-4. In Hand inth Circuit adop- ted the standard and dis- agreed wi e district court's denial of bail pending appeal. The Ninth Circuit granted bail pending appeal and held that the defendant had met his burden of proving that his appeal raised a "substantial or 'fairly debatable' question of the type that calls into question the validity of the judgment." Handy, 761 F.2d at 1283. The Ninth Cir- cuit remanded to the district court for imposition of the appropriate conditions of release. These proceedings obviously present diffi- culties for the parties, as well as for the tri- al and appellate courts. We are convinced that those difficulties will be lessened if a clear record at a hearing is made in the trial court. As noted, the defendant bears the burden of making the showings outlined above on the facts and the law, and he must present sufficient portions of the record to support the questions he raises. If this is not done, as to evidentiary matters we must give considerable deference to the trial court's determination on the substantiality of questions of fact. We can, like the trial court, independently consider questions of law. Accordingly, we partially remand these cases to the district courts for hearings and reconsideration of the denials of the mo- tions for bail pending appeal under the standards we adopt today, and for the dis- trict courts to make new written findings, conclusions and orders under these stand- ards.

McKAY, Circuit Judge, dissenting: Since our country's inception, liberty has held a preeminent place in our pantheon of values. Our founding fathers took care to preserve it through a wealth of carefully crafted constitutional safeguards. Among them are the eighth amendment's proscrip- tion of excessive bail, the due process clause, and the ex post facto clause. In my view, the court has trivialized each of these safeguards in sustaining the constitutional- ity of the bail pending appeal provisions of the Bail Reform Act of 1984, and in ap- proving the application of these provisions to defendants who were convicted of crimes committed before the Act's passage. I believe that this is, in large measure, a consequence of the court's preoccupation with attempting to ameliorate the harsh ef- fects of these provisions. Had the court held fast to the actual intent of Congress, the constitutional infirmity of the statute would have been readily apparent. When the standard for release of a con- victed person pending appeal under 18 U.S.C. § 3143 was first considered by trial courts and by a panel of this court, they all concluded that Congress did indeed mean what it said-bail should be denied unless the trial court finds: that the appeal is not for purpose of delay and raises a substantial question of law or fact likely to result in reversal or an order for a new trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3143(b). These early decisions took the statute to mean that for all practical purposes Con- Page 15 gress intended to eliminate bail pending appeal in all but the most extraordinary cases. Subsequently, the Third Circuit fab- ricated from rules of judicial construction an intent that gives the appearance of signi- ficantly ameliorating the harshness of *955 the provision-even though there is no evid- ence that Congress had fiu nstruction in mind. United States 753 F.2d 19 (3rd Cir.1985). Other tuts quickly fell in line. United States Handy, 761 F.2d 1279 (9 Cir.1985) r curiam); United States Giancola, 4 F.2d 8 Pofin, Nos. 85-5009, 85-5010, slip op. at (11th Cir.1985 ; see also United States (4th Cir. March 4, 1985) (opinion of Mumaghan, C.J., as a single circuit judge). In this case the majority, adopting the reas- oning of both the nuird and Eleventh Cir- cuits, rewrites the statutory provision to read that bail may be granted by the trial court if: 1. the appeal raises a substantial question of law or fact; and 2. if that substantial question is determ- ined favorably to the defendant on ap- peal, the decision is likely to result in re- versal or an order for a new trial on all counts for which imprisonment has been imposed. Thus, under the majority's attempted emas- culation of the provisions of the Act, no de- termination need be made whether the sub- stantial question is likely to be determined favorably upon appeal; it need only be de- cided whether that substantial question would likely result in reversal if it is so re- solved on appeal. In my view, it is regrettable that the courts have not held fast to the actual intent of Congress. This supposed amelioration will O 2008 Thomson/West. No Claim to Orig. U.S. Govt.

I am fully satisfied that the result will be es- sentially the same as it would were the stat- ute interpreted literally-the denial of bail to the overwhelming majority of persons who previously would have received bail pending appeal. Such exceptions as may exist under the newly established standards will be at best quixotic.1N1 FN1. By my calculation, sixty-three percent of direct appeals handled by this court in the most recent report- ing period involved persons who were free on bail pending appeal. The new standards will not only eliminate bail in the overwhelming majority of those cases, but I am satisfied that it will be accident rather than design if even a substan- tial majority of those cases that we reverse coincide with the cases in which bail pending appeal is gran- ted. More important, in sorting through the the- oretical niceties of supposedly ameliorative standards the courts have lost sight of the fact that the statute both as written by Con- gress and as rewritten by them allows for the punishment of a substantial class of in- dividuals who have not yet been finally ad- judicated guilty. I am convinced that deny- mg bail under the test set forth in the pan- el's opinion is contrary to the Constitution of the United States. CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS ON AP- PEAL Until recently, it might have been argued that the constitutional rights that normally would attend preconviction proceedings do not ar mpany the appellate process. See Ross Moffitt, 417 U.S. 600, 94 S.Ct. Page 16 2437, 41 L.Ed.2d 341 (1974). Howevi the recent Supreme Court case of Evius Lum, 469 U.S. 387, 105 S.Ct. 830, L.Ed.2d 821 (1985), has drastically changed this analysis. In Evicts the Court found that, where a state provides for an appeal as a matter of right, "the procedures used in deciding appeals must comport with the demands of the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the Constitu- tion." 469 U.S. at ----, 105 S.Ct. at 834. In holding that a defendant has a due process right to effective assistance of counsel on appeal, the Court stated that "in establish- ing a system of appeal as of right, the state had implicitly determined that it was un- willing to curtail drastically a defendant's liberty unless a second judicial decision- maker, the appellate court, was convinced that the conviction was in accord with law." 469 U.S. at ----, 105 S.Ct. at 840. The state was thus found to have "made the appeal the final step in the adjudication of guilt or innocence of the individual." re Id. *956 Accordingly, in a system where a defendant has an appeal as of right, his guilt or innocence is not finally determined until the conclusion of his appeal. Under this rationale, all rights that apply to pro- tect a defendant at the trial stage also apply at the appellate level, provided the appeal is a matter of right. FN2. Justice Rehnquist, writing in dissent, vehemently objected to this characterization as "inconsistent with the general view of state app late review expressed ... in Ross Moffitt, supra, at 610-11 [, 94 S. at 2443-44]." 469 U.S. at ----, 105 S.Ct. at 844. Rays can be distin- guished, however, on the ground that the appeal involved in that case was discretionary rather than as of right. O 2008 Thomson/West. No Claim to Orig. U.S. Govt.

Page 17 of 24 765 F.2d 944 765 F.2d 944, 53 USLW 2628 (Cite as: 765 F.2d 944) As the Supreme Court has stated, "[p]resent federal law has made an appeal from a district court's judgment of convic- tion ' in a criminal case what is, ' effect, a matter of right." Coppedge United States, 369 U.S. 438, 441, 82 .Ct. 917, 918, 8 L.Ed.2d 21 (1962) (citing 28 U.S.C. H 1291, 1294; Fed.R.Crim.P. 37(a)). The federal courts have, therefore, made the ap- peal "the final step in the adjudication of guilt or innocence' and, under Evitts, the full panoply of constitutional rights applies until the conclusion of the appeal. THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT The traditional purpose of bail has been to ensure the presence of the defendant at tri- al. Higher bail than that amount reasonably calculated to fulfill this purpose is "excessive" in lation of the eighth amendment. Stack ■ Boyle, 342 U.S. 1, 5, 72 S.Ct. 1, 3, 96 L. . 1 (1951). It remains an open question, however, whether the eighth amendment provides a right to bail in cases where the defendant' not likely to flee. Compare Escandar Ferguson, 441 F.Supp. 53, 58 (S.D.Fla.1 7) (finding that likelihood of flight is the only r consti- tutionally permissible justificati for deni- al of bail) with United States Edwards, 430 A.2d 1321 (D.C.App.1 81), cert. denied,455 U.S. 1022, 102 S.Ct. 1721, 72 L.Ed.2d 141 (1982) (upholding the denial of bail for the purpose of protecting the community) T, The Supreme Court h expressly reserved the question. Bell Vol fish, 441 U.S. 520, 534 n. 15, 99 S. 1861, 1871 n. 15, 60 L.Ed.2d 447 (1979) (refusing to decide whether any objective other than ensuring the defendant's pres- ence at trial may constitutionally justify pretrial detention). Page 17 ally been allowed in all capital cases, but this exception falls within the traditional justification of p vention of flight. United States Kennedy, 618 F.2d 557, 559 (9 Cir.1980) ("It has been thought that most defendants facing a possible death penalty would likely flee re- gardless of what bail was set, but those facing only a possible prison sentence would not if bail were suf- ficiently high.") I would resolve the question left open in Wolfish by finding that prevention of flight is the only constitutionally permissible jus- tification for the denial of bail. In my view, to say that the eighth amendment does not prevent Congress from defining classes of cases in which bail shall not be allowed but only provides that bail shall not be excess- ive in those cases where it is allowed "is a classic case of the cart pulling the horse since the Congress could abrogate the right to bail altogether, making the eighth amendment absolutely meaningless."

See Duker, The Right to Bail: An Historical Inquiry, 42 Alb.L.Rev. 33, 58-66 (1977) (finding that the English provision did not limit Parliament's ability to define offenses as nonbailable). Although there have been hints to the con- trary in recent Supreme Court opinions, see *957Carlson, 342 U.S. ft 545-46, 72 S.Ct. ein at 536-37, and Sch Martin, 467 U.S. 253, 104 S.C. 2403, 2 0, 81 L.Ed.2d 207 (1984), it would be a travesty if we glibly abandoned the *servations of the Supreme Court in Stack Boyle, 342 U.S. 1, 4, 72 S.Ct. 1, 3, 96 L. . 1 (1951): From the passage of the Judiciary Act of 1789, 1 Stat. 73, 91, to the present Feder- al Rules of Criminal Procedure, Rule 46(a)(1), federal law has unequivocally provided that a person attested for a non- capital offense shall be admitted to bail. This traditional right to freedom before conviction permits the unhampered pre- paration of a defense, and serves to pre- vent the infliction of punitment prior to conviction. See Hudson Parker, 156 U.S. 277, 285, 15 S.Ct. 450, 453, 39 Ltd. 424 (1895). Unless this right to bail before trial is preserved, the presump- tion of innocence, secured only after cen- turies of struggle, would lose its mean- ing. Thus, in my view, the Bail Reform Act vi- olates the eighth amendment by allowing the denial of bail on grounds unrelated to the defendant's likelihood of flight. Even if Congress is free to define nonbail- able offenses, certainly the allowable justi- fications are limited. Justice Black, sitting as a Circuit Justice, stated that "the com- mand of the eighth amendment that `excessive bail shall not be required * * * ' Page 18 at the very least obligates judges passing upon the right to bail to deny such relief y for the strongest of reasons."

At a minimum, the eighth amendment must prohibit unreasonable denial of bail. Carlson, 342 U.S. at 569, 72 S.Ct. at 51 (Burton, J., dissenting). See also Hunt Roth, 648 F.2d 114 1 th Cir.19 ), vacated as moot in .Ed.2d 353 (1982) ( "... Congress and the Hunt, 455 U.S. 478, 102 S.Ct. I , states may reasonably legislate as to the right to bail for certain offenses provided the power is exercised rationally, reason- ably, and without discrimination.") Surely we cannot condone the position that bail may be denied for the primary purpose of punishing a defendant prior to the final de- termination of his guilt, as defined in Evitts. The government has a compelling interest in safeguarding the integrity of the judicial system. Denial of bail on the ground that the defendant is likely to flee furthers this interest by ensuring the defendant's pres- ence at trial. Certainly, from the perspect- ive of the individual denied bail on this ground, the bars are just as cold and the cell is just as bleak as if he were being pun- ished. VThatever penal aspects are attendant to such incarceration, however, are incid- ental to the achievement of the state's prin- ciple purpose-the protection of the integrity of the judicial system.

Page 19 of 24 765 F.2d 944 765 F.2d 944, 53 USLW 2628 (Cite as: 765 F.2d 944) court found on a sufficient record that bail would ensure the presence of the defend- ants and that neither defendant is a danger to the community requiring immediate isol- ation. Thus, the only possible purpose for detaining them before the guilt &tenths- lion is complete, as defined by Evens, is punitive. While this conclusion is not diffi- cult to divine from the face of the statute, Congress has made our analytic task even easier by explicitly stating the intent of the statutory provisions governing bail pending appeal to be punitive. The legislative his- tory accompanying the Act indicates that Congress believed swifter punishment is a greater deterrent to criminal conduct: "release of a criminal defendant into the community after conviction may under- mine the deterrent effect of the criminal law, especially in those situations where the appeal of the conviction may drag on for many months or even years." Senate Report No. 98-225 at 26, 98th Cong., 2d Sess. (1984), U.S.Code Cong. & Ad- min.News 1984, p. 3209; Senate Report No. 98-147 at 562, 98th Cong., 1st Sess. (1983); Senate Report No. 97-317 at 15-56, 97th Cons., 2d Sess. (1982). As the court D( noted in its memorandu *958 opinion and order in United States Cirrincione, 600 F.Supp. 1436, 1443 (N. . 11.1985): By viewing the restrictions on release pending appeal to be a deterrent to crime, Congress must have concluded that a sen- tence that commences immediately upon conviction is somehow more severe than a sentence which commences only after appeal. Certainly a sentence which com- mences before, rather than after, appeal, is more certain to be served. Indeed, in the approximately ten percent of all criminal cases in which the appellate courts reverse convictionspo there is a Page 19 substantial likelihood that persons will serve time in prison who would not other- wise have served at all, since some of these reversals will result in dismissals and even retrial will not necessarily result in convic- tion. FNS. Annual Report of the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts, Table B-1, p. 228 (1984). Denial of bail for the primary purpose of punishing the defendant is unreasonable, and therefore a violation of the eighth amendment. Accordingly, I can only con- clude that, because under the statute as written by Congress and as rewritten by our court and others the denial of post- conviction bail is principally a punitive act, the statute is unconstitutional under the eighth amendment. In addition, the punit- ive nature of the statute leads me to con- clude that the statute also violates the due process clause and the ex post facto clause. THE DUE PROCESS CLAUSE The liberty protected by the fifth amend- men includes freedom from punishment. Belli Wolfish, 441 U.S. 520, 535 n. 17, 99 S.Ct. 1861, 1871, n. 17, 60 L.Ed.2d 447 (1978). Thus, under the due process clause, a person may not be punished prior to an adjudication of guilt in accordance with due process of law. Wolfish, 441 U.S. at 535, 99 S.Ct. at 1871. Since a defendant is not finally adjudicated guilty until after the conclusion of his appeal, Evitts, 469 U.S. at ----, 105 S.Ct. 831, the prohibition against punishment is still applicable while the de- fendant is awaiting his appeal. The Supreme Court "has recognized a dis- tinction between punitive measures that C 2008 Thomson/West. No Claim to Orig. U.S. Govt.

765 F.2d 944 765 F.2d 944, 53 USLW 2628 (Cite as: 765 F.2d 944) may not constitutionally be imposed prior to a determination of guilt and regulatory measures that may." Wolfish, 441 U.S. at 537, 99 S.Ct. at 1873. Thus, in analyzing the denial of bail, "the court must decide whether the disability is imposed for the purpose of punishment or whether it is but an incident of some other legitimate gov- ernmental purpose." Id. at 538, 99 S.Ct. at 1873. As discussed, the legislative history makes clear that the statutory restrictions on bail pending appeal were "imposed for the purpose of punishment." Wolfish, 441 U.S. at 538, 99 S.Ct. at 1873. The statute thus violates the due process clause by im- posing punishment prior to a final adjudic- ation of guilt. The infirmity of the new statute has anoth- er dimension under the due process clause as well-one which stems from the critically overburdened state of our docket. In my view, the risk of erroneous deprivation of liberty under the new provisions will be great, for I am persuaded that in practice the substance of the legal issues raised in the petitions for bail pending appeal will receive only slight consideration. While I have been unable to make a precise calculation, such figures as are available suggest that approximately sixty-three per- cent of all direct criminal appeals to this circuit involve persons who have been granted bail pending appeal. Because of the Bail Reform Act, we have pending a large number of petitions to this court to grant bail pending appeal after denial by the trial court. It is quite possible that we would have little difficulty continuing to work in- to our calendar an examination of cases where the only test for denial of bail is frivolity. But the test that the majority im- poses ensures, as night to day, that if we take our duties under Rule 9 of the Rules of Page 20 of 24 Page 20 Appellate Procedure seriously, we have *959 just added a mini-appeal in a large percentage of direct criminal appeals to our already unmanageable docket. Even the majority admits that "[ijn the final analys- is, we cannot define blanket categories for what will constitute `substantial' questions under § 3143(6)(2)." Op. at p. 952. The court's self-injunction that such issues must be determined on a "case-by-case basis" is the administrative equivalent of handing a rock to a drowning man. Even in the cases in which we ultimately determine that the question is not "substantial," the effort re- quired to give conscientious judicial scru- tiny to the determination of that issue will be substantial. Notwithstanding the fact that the trial court makes the initial determination, the sub- stantiality of an issue of law is one that this court must determine and no presumption can properly be given to the trial court's predetermination of that issue. Once a question is found to be substantial, the court must also make a determination tan- tamount to a harmless error determination. At this point the mini-appeal is no longer a mini-appeal. We have a duty to find harm- lessness only in light of the entire record. One need say no more in order to suggest the damage we have done to our dockets, and the nsk that in our overburdened state the bail decisions will not be adequately re- viewed. In addition, the process impinges on the fundamental fairness of the review of the merits of each criminal appeal, for our final determination on the merits will inevitably be affected by the fact that we have already found that the legal issues raised lack substantiality. By this I do not intend even remotely to impugn either the ability or intent of the judges.

EX POST FACTO The ex post facto clause was adopted, in part, to protect an individual's right to fair notice when the government "increases punishment beyond what was prescribed when cruse tie was consummated." Weaver Graham, 450 U.S. 24, 30, 101 S.Ct. 96 , 965, 67 L.Ed.2d 17 (1981). In Weaver the Court noted that two elements must be present for a criminal law to be held ex post facto: it must apply to acts oc- curring before its enactment into law, and it must function to the disadvantage of the offender affected by it. The Supreme Court has repeatedly recognized, however, that a purely procedural change in the law is not ex post facto, even if a defendant is di vantaged thereby. See, e.g., Dobbert Florida, 432 U.S. 282, 97 S.Ct. 2290, 53 L.Ed.2d 344 (1977), reh. denied,434 U.S. 882, 93.Ct. 246, 54 L.Ed.2d 166 (1977); Beate!! Ohio, 269 U.S. 16;:i46 S.Q. 68, 70 L. . 216 (1925); Hopt Utah, 110 U.S. 574, 4 S.Ct. 202, 28 L. 262 (1884). In other cases, however, the Court has noted that a procedural change may so af- fect substantial rights as to fall within tip s( ex post facto prohibition. See, e. ., Kring Missouri, 107 U.S. 221, 2 . 443, 27 L.Ed. 506 (1883); Thompson Utah, 170 U.S. 343, 18 S.Ct. 620, 42 .Ed. 1061 (1898). I need not linger long over the body of law addressed to the fine distinc- tions between those procedural changes that do affect substantial rights and those that do not, however, in light of the legis- lative history indicating that Congress in- tended the provision to b unitive. As the Court noted in Deveau Braisted, 363 U.S. 144, 160, 80 S.Ct. 1146, 1154, 4 L.Ed.2d 1109,reh. denied,364 U.S. 856, 81 S.Ct. 30, 5 L.Ed.2d 80 (1960): Page 21 of 24 Page 21 The mark of an ex post facto law is the imposition of what can fairly be desig- nated as punishment for past acts. The question in each case where unpleasant consequences are brought to bear upon an individual for prior conduct, is whether the legislative aim was to punish that in- dividual for past activity, or whether the restriction comes about as a relevant in- cident to a regulation of a present situ- ation.... As the court found in Cirrincione,"the post-conviction bail restrictions are not un- related to punishment nor merely incidental to regulation of a present situation." 600 F.Supp. at 1443. Rather, the provisions *960 impose on defendants what Congress viewed as the harsher punishment of a sen- tence that must be served immediately rather than after the conclusion of the ap- peal. Indeed, for those defendants whose convictions are reversed and who are not thereafter reconvicted, the statute imposes the punishment of imprisonment on those who would not otherwise be forced to bear it. To fall into the "procedure" versus "substance" trap is intolerable under the circumstances and trivializes the serious- ness of incarceration. Because the provi- sions are principally and fundamentally penal, they are irreconcilable with the no- tion that a person may be punished only to the extent that the law allowed at the time he committed the crime. PRE-TRIAL DETENTION Finally, I address the issue that alarms me most of all about the court's opinion-the implications for the concept of pretrial bail inherent in the method by which the court has reached its result. I think it likely that the trivialization of premature incarceration of convicted persons prior to appeal as C 2008 Thomson/West. No Claim to Orig. U.S. Govt.

I hold with Justice Jackson who, sitting as a circuit justice, said: It is difficult to reconcile with traditional American law the jailing of persons by the courts because of anticipated but as yet uncommitted crimes. Imprisonment to protect society from predicted but un- consummated offenses is so unpreceden- ted in this country and so fraught with danger of excesses that I am loath to re- sort to it, even as a discretionary judicial technique.... Williams United States, 184 F.2d 280, 282-83 (2 Cir.1950). Professor Tribe has noted that this approach bears a striking similarity to the exchange in Lewis Car- roll's Through the Looking Glass: The Queen observes that the King's Mes- senger is "in prison now, being punished; and the trial doesn't even begin till next Wednesday; and of course the crime comes last of all." Perplexed, Alice asks, "Suppose he never commits the crime?" "That will be all the better, wouldn't it?" the Queen replies. Tribe, An Ounce of Detention: Preventive Justice in the World of John Mitchell, 56 Va.L.Rev. 371, 374 (19'70) (quoted in Ed- wards, 430 A.2d at 1368 (Mack, J., dis- senting)). What one thinks of the role of the eighth amendment and the due process clause in restraining unjustified detention prior to trial or pending appeal undoubtedly de- pends on one's experience. From our priv- ileged position it would be quite normal for us to assume that the spectre of unjustified detention looms only in such countries as Poland or South Africa. Perhaps we would Page 22 be more mindful of the past failings of our own country in this regard, and more in- clined to bolster the safeguards against fu- ture lapses, if wi were of Japanese origins. See Korematsu United States, 323 U.S. 214, 65 S.Ct. 1 3, 89 L.Ed. 194 (1944), reh. denied,324 U.S. 885, 65 S.Ct. 674, 89 L.Ed. 1435 (1945). Our sensitivity to the dangers of unjustified or discriminatory de- tention might be similarly heightened we were black or poor. See F'urman Georgia, 408 U.S. 238, 92 S.Ct. 2726, L.Ed.2d 346 (1972), reh. denied,409 U.S. 902, 93 S.Ct. 89, 34 L.Ed.2d 163 (1972) (Douglas, J., concurring) (in which the Su- preme Court chronicled our history of ra- cial and economic disparity in the execu- tion of accused persons). Crime is indeed one of the most serious of the problems that threaten our society, and the goal of enhancing the security of our citizenry is an important one. We should not seek to achieve it through the circum- vention of constitutional safeguards, however. To fall into the "procedure" versus "substance" trap is intolerable when human liberty hangs in the balance. To punish an individual before he has been fi- nally adjudicated guilty or to retroactively enhance the punishment for a crime is a perversion of our system of justice. In the end it will not bring either credit or *961 enhanced effectiveness to the criminal justice system. I would grant both petitions to admit to bail pending appeal. SEYMOUR, Circuit Judge, dissenting. I generally agree with most of what Judge McKay has written and I therefore join his dissent. I write separately to note two things.

765 F.2d 944 765 F.2d 944, 53 USLW 2628 (Cite as: 765 F.2d 944) given to a bail decision pending appeal. I believe that circumstances could justify a denial of bail where the defendant has been convicted of a violent crime and has other- wise indicated that he is a danger to the community. Nonetheless, I fear that the language of the statute is sufficiently vague to encompass far more situations than I would consider constitutional. That is not the case here, however, and the proper con- tours of "likely to ... pose a danger to the safety of any other person or the corn- mumty,"18 U.S.C. § 3143(b)(1), must be left to the appropriate cases. Second, it is unfortunate that Congress has chosen to limit bail pending appeal as a re- action to the sad state of the circuit court dockets. In 1979, there were 1194 appeals filed in the Tenth Circuit; in 1984, there were 1922. Administrative Office of the United States Courts, Federal Court Man- agement Statistics 11 (1984). The average time it is currently taking this circuit to handle a criminal appeal from the date of the notice to oral argument is 368 days. In a bail opinion in 1956, Justice Frank- furter addressed the growing length of time of criminal appeals: "Nothing has disturbed me more during my years on the Court than the time span, in so many cases that come here, between the date of an indictment and the final ap- pellate disposition of a conviction. Such untoward delays seem to me inimical to the fair and effective administration of the criminal law. I see no reason whatever why we in this country cannot be as expeditious in dealing with criminal appeals as is true of England. Applica- tions for appeals are heard in the English Court of Criminal Appeal within eight weeks of conviction; in murder cases ap- peals `are generally before the Court not Page 23 of 24 Page 23 later than three weeks after the convic- tion.' " Ward 6United States, --- U.S. ----, 76 S.Ct. 3, 1066, 1 L.Ed.2d 25 (1956). When Justice Frankfurter expressed these concerns, the case before him had been pending on appeal for four months and he expected that it would not be heard on the merits for another two months. Given this time frame, which he viewed as far too lengthy, he said: "The Government should, I believe, be the active mover for an early hearing, thus putting upon the convicted defend- ant the responsibility for setting forth sound reasons for postponing such a hearing. I am not able to understand why it should not become the settled practice for the Government to move, after an ap- peal is taken from a conviction, for the hearing of the appeal on the stenographic minutes at the earliest possible moment that a Court of Appeals can accommodate its calendar to the disposition of business that has first call, namely, a criminal ap- peal. This is especially desirable in a case where bail has been denied." Id. 76 S.Ct. at 1067. I agree with Justice Frankfurter. I believe that Congress should have addressed its concern for the length of the appeal process by enacting some form of speedy appeals act rather than limiting bail. Judge McKay correctly envisions that the circuits soon will be mired in mini-appeals over the bail issues if we exercise our duty as Article III judges to review seriously the trial judge's determination that no "substantial" issue is presented. For this reason, I urge this court to expedite all criminal appeals where bail has been denied, to deny extensions of time to court reporters and brief writers, and to hear oral argument on the merits within 90 (O 2008 Thomson/West.

If at the time of oral ar- gument the panel determines that an issue is in fact *962 substantial and likely to res- ult in reversal, it can immediately order that bail be set pending the final decision on appeal.

In his individual income tax re- turn for the year 1980, however, Haney denied that he had any proprietary interest in, or authority over, any bank account outside the United States" Harvey also failed to report the interest income he al- legedly earned on his Cayman Islands ac- count on his individual income tax returns for the years 1978 to 1982. Harvey filed a motion In the district court on June 2, 1986 in which he alleged that the government had informally grant. ed him use immunity in return for his coop- eration in a drug investigation in 1980. Harvey sought a pretrial hearing to require the government to prove that the evidence it proposed to use at trial was derived from a legitimate source independent of the im- munized testimony, as Kastigar p. United States, U.S. 441, 92 S.Ct. 1663, 82 LEd.2d (1972), required. The immuni- ty agreement was never reduced to writ- ing, but Harvey was able to point to a I.

The government denied that Harvey had been granted any immunity other than a simple agreement not to prosecute him for certain charges pending in Alabama. Be cause it disputed the very existence of a grant of immunity, the government object- ed to the holding of a Kastigar hearing as unwarranted. Faced with this disputed claim of an un- written grant of immunity, the magistrate did not hold a traditional Kastigar hearing, as Harvey had requested. Instead, she held a series of "pre-Kastipar" hearings in order to determine (1) whether Harvey had been granted immunity in 1980, (2) if so, what kind of immunity the government had granted, and (3) what information Harvey had revealed to the government. The "pre-Kastigar" hearings revealed that in June of 1980 a grand jury sitting in the Southern District of Alabama had in- dicted Harvey and several others for the attempted importation of a large quantity of quaalude tablets. The government's case against Harvey was indefensible— shall be guilty of a felony and, upon convic• tion thereof, shall be fined not more than $100,000 (8503.000 in the case of a corpora- tion) or imprisoned not more than 3 year; or both, together with the costs of prosecution.

1442 889 FEDERAL REPORTER, 241 SERIES "slam dunk" to use the evocative words of Harvey's lawyer at the time. Making the best of the situation, Harvey decided to cooperate with the government. Although the United States Attorney in the Southern District of Alabama did not need any of the testimony Harvey offered, his counterpart in the Southern District of Florida did. Thus, Harvey was able to reach a three-sided agreement with the government Although there was some dispute at the "pre-Ka:tiger" hearings about the specific terms of the actual bar- gain struck between Harvey and the government, the witnesses agreed that the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama offered to dismiss the indictment pending in that district in return for Harvey's cooperation with an investiga- tion that the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida was con- ducting. The United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida sent sever- al Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA") agents to Alabama where they interviewed Harvey. Apparently Harvey met his side of the bargain, and the United States Attorney dismissed the indictment against Harvey in the Alabama quaalude case. The testimony differed sharply as to any further elements of the agreement. After weighing all the evidence, the magistrate found that in addition to agreeing to drop the Alabama indictment, the government 4. Under the net worth method the government establishes the taxpayer's total assets and liabili. ties at the beginning ol the year and compares them with the taxpayer's assets and liabilities at the end of the year. If the excess of assets over liabilities increases during the year the increase is taxable unless the taxpayer can show that the increase represents nontaxable income. See, as.. Holland v. United Slates. 34$ U.S. 121. 75 S.Ct. 127, 99 LEd. 150 (1954) (approving net worth method of reconstructing taxable income under predecessor of current Internal Revenue Code section 446). 5. In a separate motion before the district court Harvey sought to have the court exclude these documents which the government had obtained through the "tinned Kingdom-United Stater Agreement Concerning Obtaining Evidence From Cayman Islands With Regard to Narcotics Activities." The gravamen of Harvey's argu- ment is that the United States may obtain evi. had granted Harvey both transactional im- munity and use immunity for any informa- tion he had revealed to the DEA officials in 1980. Because the DEA agents who inter- viewed Harvey had failed to keep any records whatsoever of their conversations with Harvey, the daunting task of recon- structing what Harvey disclosed to the DEA agents in 1980 now faced the magis- trate. The magistrate found that Harvey had told the agents about all of the drug deals in which he had been involved before and at the time of his arrest in 1980, and had also "divulged ... his financial deal- ings with respect to his illegal drug deals." This information included the identification of the funds in the Cayman Islands bank. Having thus determined what had hap- pened in 1980, the magistrate turned to the 1985 tax evasion indictment. Stephen Sny- der, the Justice Department's Criminal Tax Division attorney responsible for the inves- tigation of the government's case and its presentation to the grand jury appeared at the "pre-Kettiger" hearings. Snyder tes- tified that the government had used the net worth method of proving to the grand jury that Harvey had substantially underreport- ed his income in the prior years.' In addi- tion, the government also introduced doc- uments obtained from the Bank of Nova Scotia in the Cayman Islands showing pay- ment of interest to Harvey during the years in question.' Snyder further testi- dcncc from the Cayman Islands under the agreement only when it does so at pan of an investigation for narcotics violations. Because the government was investigating him solely for tax evasion, Harvey argues that it could not invoke the provisions of the agreement (even though the corpus of the money was derived from narcotics activity). The district court dis- missed the indictment against Harvey before addressing this question; therefore, because this question is not now before us. we do not ad- dress it. nor do we address Harvey's standing to raise it. During oral argument Harvey also suggested that the government must have used the tail. mony he gave under immunity when it certified to the government of the Cayman Islands—as it had to in order to obtain documentary evidence under the terms of the agreement—that Harvey was involved in narcotics activity.

U.S.1 HARVEY 1443 atom 119 MI Matte Ha) fied that he told the grand jury that the For the purposes of this appeal the probable source of Harvey's income was his drug-related activities. The magistrate did not allow the govern- ment to show that it had derived the evi- dence it presented to the grand jury—or that it intended to introduce at trial—from legitimate independent sources. The hear- ing transcript, currently under seal, reveals conclusively that Snyder began to testify about the trail that led to Harvey's Cayman Islands bank account, but upon the objec- tion of Harvey's counsel, the magistrate stopped Snyder from testifying further. The magistrate considered such informa- tion irrelevant to the "pre-Kostipar" hear- ing; instead, the magistrate reasoned that whether the government derived the infor- mation leading to the indictment from inde- pendent sources was properly a matter only for a true Kastigar hearing. With the findings of fact set out, the magistrate then made a "Finding of Law" in which she concluded that the information concerning Harvey's drug activities and re- lated financial dealings formed the basis for the tax indictment and was "inextrica- bly tied" to the information that Harvey had revealed to the DEA agents in 1980. Even though she had refused the govern- ment the opportunity to demonstrate that the evidence against Harvey came from • source independent of the immunized testi- mony, the magistrate concluded that the evidence presented to the grand jury was "tainted." The magistrate further conclud- ed that the indictment violated the grant of immunity extended to Harvey and recom- mended that the district court dismiss the indictment. The district court reviewed the record de novo and agreed with the magistrate's fac- tual finding that the government had ex- tended both use and transactional immuni- ty to the appellee.

Thus, the government at least implicitly has come to recognize that the 1980 immunity agreement bars any prosecution for tax evasion allegedly committed before September of 1980 government does not dispute the factual fmdlngs of the magistrate and district court that Harvey received transactional and use immunity in 1980 and that he told the DEA agents about his financial deal- ings, including the existence of the funds in the Cayman Islands. The government, however, vigorously disagrees with the le gal conclusion that such a grant of immuni- ty given in 1980 bars Harvey's prosecution for failure to report the existence of a foreign bank account or the interest earned on that account in years after that grant of immunity' iI. INFORMAL GRANTS OF IMMUNITY We note at the outset that this appeal would not be necessary had the United States Attorneys for the Southern Districts of Alabama and Florida reduced their agreement with Harvey to writing. The magistrate and district court have been put through the arduous task of reconstructing the terms of the agreement with the government, a task made still more diffi- cult by the astonishing failure of the DEA agents who interviewed Harvey to keep any written records of those interviews. Informal grants of immunity are by their very nature less certain than formal grants, and thus are much more likely to ante confusion for the government and for the courts in the future. As long as prosecutors continue the practice of unwrit- ten grants of immunity, they open the door for subsequent litigation such as this, and for adverse decisions as well.

This is true because by entering into a plea agreement the defendant for- goes his important constitutional right to a jury trial, or by testifying under a grant of immunity he forgoes his fifth amendment privilege. In either case courts will en- force the agreement when the defendant or witness has fulfilled his side of the bar- gain. 121 Although federal law no longer pro- vides for formal, statutory grants of trans- actional immunity' a prosecutor may, as in this case, informally grant transactional immunity to a witness in return for his cooperation in a criminal case. Similarly, although 18 U.S.C. H 6002-6003 provide for court-supervised grants of use immuni- ty, prosecutors may extend such immunity informally as well. Harvey did not receive a formal (statutory) grant of transactional or use immunity, yet because due process requires us to enforce the government's agreement with Harvey, we apply the same rules and method of analysis to an informal grant of use or transactional immunity as we would to a formal grant' E.g., United 7.

USE IMMUNITY The first issue we address is the effect the 1980 grant of use immunity has on the current prosecution for tax evasion. This question is essentially evidentiary in na- ture. As we discuss below, the govern- ment may not use, either directly or deriva- tively, any testimony Harvey gave under the 1980 grant of use immunity against him in a subsequent related prosecution. We discuss in a separate section the an- alytically distinct question of whether the government may ever prosecute Harvey for tax evasion. Resolution of that ques- tion depends on the scope of the 1980 grant of transactional immunity Harvey re- ceived. (3-6) Use immunity prohibits the use of compelled testimony, or any evidence de- rived directly or indirectly from that testi- mony, against the witness in a criminal prosecution. See generally Kastigar v. United Ste i 406 U.S. 441, 92 S.Ct 1653, 32 LEd2d (1972). In contrast to trans- actional immunity, use immunity does not prohibit the government from prosecuting the witness for crimes about which he testi- fied, provided the government proves that it has other evidence to support the prose- cution that "is derived from a legitimate source wholly independent of the compelled testimony." Id., 406 U.S. at 460, 92 S.Ct. at 1665. Pursuant to Title 18 U.S.C. §§ 60024003, a district court may formally grant use immunity to a witness who refus- es to testify on the basis of his fifth amend- ment privilege, or, as here, a prosecutor may informally grant use immunity to a witness in return for his cooperation in a criminal ease.

TRANSACTIONAL IMMUNITY use immunity, the burden shifts to the prosecution which then has "the affirma- tive duty to prove that the evidence it pro- poses to use is derived from a legitimate source wholly independent" of the testimo- ny given under the grant of immunity. See Braswell v. United States, — US. —, 108 S.Ct. 2284, 2295, 101 LEd.2d 98 (1988); Kastigar, 406 U.S. at 460, 92 S.Ct at 1666. See also Murphy v. Waterfront Comm.; 378 U.S. 52, 79 n. 18, 84 S.Ct. 1694, 1609 n. 18, 12 LEd.2d 678 (1964). The government contends that it derived the evidence it used to secure Harvey's indictment by the grand jury and the evi- dence it intended to use at trial, from an independent source. In essence, the government claims that while investigating someone else the Criminal Tax Division of the Justice Department came upon a trail of evidence that led to Harvey's bank ac- count in the Cayman Islands. As we noted above, the record reveals that the magistrate did not permit the government to show the independe sources of its evidence against flame The magistrate recommended that the i dictment be dismissed after having con- ducted only the "pre-iCastipar" hearing. Similarly, the district court dismissed the indictment in part because it believed that all of the government's evidence was given under the 1980 grant of immunity. Yet such a conclusion was premature without giving the government the opportunity to meet its burden under Kastigar of proving the independent source of its evidence. For the same reason, any conclusion that tainted evidence sufficient to justify dis- missing the indictment was presented to the grand jury was also premature because the government may have been able to demonstrate that the evidence was not tainted at all. 9. Transactional immunity statutes typically pro. aided that "no person shall be prosecuted or subjected to any penalty or forfeiture for or on account of any transaction, manor or thin& concerning which he may testify, or produce evidence, documentary or otherwise ....Masa- A. 161 The more difficult issue in this ap, peal is whether the transactional immunity Harvey received in 1980 prohibits the government from prosecuting him for tax violations committed after that grant of immunity. We conclude that it does not. (7) Transactional immunity "accords full immunity from prosecution for the of- fense to which the compelled testimony re- lates." Kastigar v. United States, 406 U.S. 441, 463, 92 S.Ct. 1653, 1661, 82 L.Ed. 2d 212 (1972).' The purpose of a grant of transactional (or use) immunity is to pre- clude a witness's reliance on his fifth amendment privilege against compelled self-incrimination: the government may compel a witness to testify by granting him immunity, provided that the scope of the immunity is at least as great as that of the fifth amendment privilege that the witness must forego. See Kastigar v. United States, 406 US. at 449, 92 S.Ct. at 1659; Counselman v. Hitchcock 142 U.S. 547, 564, 586-87, 12 S.Ct. 195, 198, 206, 95 LEd. 1110 (1892). As such, in deciding the scope of a grant of immunity the Supreme Court traditionally has referred to the scope of the fifth amendment privilege itself. For example, in Heike v. United States 227 U.S. 131, 33 S.Ct. 226, 67 L.Ed. 450 (1913) (Holmes, J.), the Court refused to construe broadly a transactional immunity statute that provided that "no person shall be prosecuted or be subjected to any penal- ty or forfeiture for or on account of any transaction, matter, or thing concerning which he may testify or produce evidence, documentary or otherwise, in any proceed. ing, suit, or prosecution under (the inter- state commerce and anti-trust acts]." Heike, 227 U.S. at 141, 33 S.Ct. at 227 (quoting Act of February 25, 1905, ch. 755, 82 Stat. 904). The Court saw "no reason for supposing that the act offered a gratui- gar v. United Stem 4011:441, 451, 92 S.Q. 1633. 1660.32 LEd.2d (1972)(9w:stint from Compulsory Testimony of 1893, which served as a model for numerous federal immu- nity statutes). EFTA00191782
1446 869 FEDERAL REPORTER, 2d SERIES ty to crime." Id. at 142, SS S.Ct. at 228. Instead, the Court reasoned that a grant of immunity "should be construed, so far as its words fairly allow the construction, as coterminous with what otherwise would have been the privilege of the person con- cerned." t, 33 S.Ct. at 228. See alto Shapiro United States, 335 U.S. 1, 19, 68 S.Ct. 6, 1385, 92 L.Ed. 1787 (1948) (following rule of construction of Mike). More recently, in Kastigar, the Court up- held the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. 6002 on the ground that use immunity "is coextensive with the scope of the privi- lege against self-incrimination, and there- fore is sufficient to compel testimony over a claim of the privilege." 406 U.S. at 453, 92 S.D.. at 1661. The Court noted in Kastigar that trans- actional immunity is broader than the fifth amendment privilege because it provides for full immunity from future prosecution, while the fifth amendment privilege "has never been construed to mean that one who invokes it cannot subsequently be prose- cuted." Id. Yet the Court has never indi- cated that transactional immunity is in any other respect broader than the fifth amend- ment privilege. Thus, transactional immu- nity and use immunity are coterminous with the fifth amendment privilege in all respects other than their effect on the government in the future. A grant of use immunity prohibits the government from using evidence disclosed either directly or derivatively, while a grant of transactional immunity prohibits the government from prosecuting the witness at any time with respect to the incriminating matters the witness disclosed. Although Kastipar and Hake were cases in which the witness refused to testify, and thus the Court had to look to the scope of the fifth amendment privilege in order to determine whether the proffered immunity sufficed to displace that privilege, we be- lieve the same principles apply to the case to. We note that neither the magistrate nor the distria court found that the plea agreement included anything other than the dismissal of the Alabama indictment and the grant of use and transactional Immunity. Nor does Harvey suggest during this appeal that his agreement before us now. The magistrate found as a fact, and the district court affirmed her finding, that the government extended use and transactional immunity to Harvey in return for his cooperation, i.e., his testimo- ny. Absent any factual finding to the con- trary, we believe it proper to conclude that this grant of immunity was fully as broad as the fifth amendment privilege that Har- vey gave up when he disclosed his illegal activities to the DEA agents. By the same token, we believe that—absent any con- trary factual finding—we should not con- clude that the scope of the immunity Har- vey received was any greater than that of the fifth amendment privilege he gave up.10 Thus, Harvey received transactional and use immunity for any testimony as to which he could have invoked his fifth amendment privilege in September of 1980. With this in mind, we turn now to the issue of when may a witness invoke his fifth amendment privilege with respect to a crime he has not yet committed. B. (8) In general, the privilege against self-incrimination only prohibits compelled testimony that might incriminate a witness for crimes he had already committed, or was in the process of committing, at the time the testimony was given. See Conn- seintan, 142 U.S. at 662, 12 S.Ct. at 198 (purpose of privilege is "to insure that a person should not be compelled, when act- ing as a witness in any investigation, to give testimony which might tend to show that he himself had committed a crime") (emphasis added); United States v. Qua- terntain, 613 F.2d 88, 42 (3d Cir.), art. denied, 446 U.S. 954, 100 S.Ct. 2923, 64 L.Ed.2d 812 (1980). Twenty years ago, however, the Supreme Court rejected a rig- id chronological test under the fifth amend- ment privilege, focusing instead on the sub- stantiality of the risk the witness faced. involved anything more. Thus, we are working solely with the familiar categories of Venue.

U.S. HARVEY Cas al Mr 1431 filth Cur. lass) In Marchetti v. United States, 390 U.S. the general rule that the fifth amendment 39, 88 S.Ct. 69'7, 19 L.Ed.20:1 889 (1968) the Supreme Court held that the fifth amend- ment privilege was not entirely inapplicable to prospective acts. The petitioner in Man chetti was convicted of violating provisions of a statute that required professional gamblers to register annually with the In- ternal Revenue Service and pay an occupa- tional tax. The Court, overruling a prior case that had upheld the very same statute, United Stain v. Kahriger, 345 U.S. 22, 73 S.Ct. 510, 97 LEd. 764 (1953), held that the petitioner's assertion of his fifth amend- ment privilege in refusing to comply with the statute provided a complete defense to his prosecution for failing to register and pay the occupational tax." Marchetti explicitly rejected the notion that the fifth amendment privilege offers protection only as to past and present acts. 390 U.S. at 53, 88 S.Ct at 705. Instead, the Court emphasized that "R)he central standard for the privilege's application has been whether the claimant is confronted by substantial and 'real,' and not merely tri- fling or imaginary, hazards of incrimina- tion." Id., 88 S.Ct. at 705. Relying on this standard, the Court held that the hazards of incrimination created by the registration and occupational tax provisions as to fu- ture acts were not "trifling or imaginary" because prospective registrants could rea- sonably expect that compliance with these provisions "may serve as decisive evidence that they have in fact subsequently violat- ed state gambling prohibitions." Id, 88 S.Ct. at 706. Although application of this standard proved favorable to the petitioner in Mar- chetti, the Court stressed that this would not usually be the case, as prospective acts "will doubtless ordinarily involve only spec- ulative and insubstantial risks of incrimina- tion." Id. at 54, 88 S.Ct. at 705. Thus, although Marchetti created an exception to It. Marchetti also overruled Lewin v. United Stein, 348 US. 419. 75 S.Ct. 415, 99 LEd. 475 (1955), which had held that the wagering tax provisions did not violate the fifth amendment privilege because they were not compulsory. According to the Lewis Court. Ube only corn. pulston under the Act Is that requiring the dart. 1447 privilege applies only to past and present criminal acts, the exception is a very nap row one. In United Stater v. Freed, 401 U.S. 601, 91 S.Ct. 1112, 28 L.Ed.241 366 (1971), the Court emphasized the narrowness of the fifth amendment privilege's application to future conduct. In Freed the Court reject- ed the argument that a registration re- quirement of the National Firearms Act violated the fifth amendment because the information disclosed could be used in con- nection with offenses that the transferee of the firearm might commit in the future. In so doing, the Court stated: Appellee's argument assumes the exist- ence of a periphery of the Self—Incrimi- nation Clause which protects a person against incrimination not only against past or present transgressions but which supplies insulation for a career of crime about to be launched. We cannot give the Self-Incrimination Clause such an ex- pansive interpretation. Id at 606-07, 91 S.Ct. at 1117. Thus, Mar- chetti and Freed teach that the focus of inquiry under the fifth amendment is whether the witness faces a substantial risk of incrimination. When the witness has not yet committed the crime, or is not in the process of committing it, his risk of incrimination is generally so speculative as to remove him from the aegis of the fifth amendment privilege. Lower court opinions also make clear that the fifth amendment privilege rarely will apply to future conduct. For example, in United States o. Quatermain, 613 F.2d 38, 42-43 (3d Cir.), cert. denied 446 US. 954, 100 S.Ct. 2923, 64 L.Ed.2d 812 (1980), the court noted that Marchetti did not sup- port the defendant's argument that the fifth amendment privilege applies to a wit- ness who refuses to testify because he asserts that his testimony somehow may be don which wouid•be gamblers mutt make at the threshold.

1448 889 FEDERAL REPORTER, 2d SERIES used to incriminate him in a prosecution for a different type of criminal act that he may commit in the future. Accordingly, the court held that the defendant's testimony under an informal grant of use immunity about his involvement in a drug ring did not prevent the government from indicting him for subsequently manufacturing a gun silencer, even though the district court found that the defendant's immunized testi- mony had helped lead to the indictment on the gun charge. See also United States Gallo, 859 F.24 1078, 1088 (24 Cir.19 (Van Crasfeiland, J., concurring) ("Licens- ing and taxing statutes aside, the only haz- ards of incrimination that are likely to be considered substantial and real are those which relate to existing or pant misdeed or a continuing course of criminal activity."). C. When we apply these principles to the case at hand, we see that the information Harvey revealed to the DEA agents in Sep- tember of 1980 could not have created sub- stantial and real hazards that it would in- criminate him for tax crimes he later alleg- edly committed in April of 1981, 1982 and 1983. Counts three through five of the indictment charged Harvey with evasion of income taxes for the years 1980, 1981, and 1982, offenses that could not have occurred until April of 1981, 1982, and 1983, when Harvey filed his tax returns for the preced- ing years." Furthermore, the crime of willfully filing a false tax return for income earned in 1980, as charged in count six of the indictment, could not have occurred until April of 1981 when Harvey filed the allegedly fraudulent return." Thus, al- though the crimes charged in counts three and six of the indictment related to Har- vey's 1980 taxes, the immunity granted in 12. See Sansorrejl United States, 380 U.S 343, 351, 85 act. 1 1010, 13 LEd.2d 882 (1965) (violation of 26 U.S.C. 17201 does not occur until the defendant commits an affirmative act constituting an evasion or attempted evasion of the tax). 13. See United &WM v. Bishop, 412 US. 346. 357-58, 93 S-Ct. 2008, 2016. 36 1...F.d.2d 941 (1973). 1980 did not apply to these crimes, because they did not occur until April of 1981, well after immunity was granted. According to his testimony at the pre- Kasiigar hearing, Harvey had revealed to the DEA agents that be had deposited mil- lions of dollars, earned through illegal drug transactions, into his accounts at the Nova Scotia Bank in the Cayman Islands. He also told the agents how he set up corpora- tions in the Cayman Islands to launder drug money. In September of 1980, the defendant could not have had "substantial and real" fears that this information would incriminate him for evasion of taxes on interest income that either was not yet required to be reported or had not yet been earned, or for filing a false income tax return that was not due for months to come." Haney could not have asserted his fifth amendment privilege with respect to these matters, therefore they are outside the scope of the immunity he received in 1980. Put another way, each failure to report income and each failure to disclose the Cayman Islands account was • separate transaction, in the eyes of the law separa- ble from the transactions for which Haney received immunity. Harvey had a right by contract to receive the interest income on his money, a right he presum- ably could have enforced in a Cayman Is- lands court. Similarly, each year Harvey's failure to report the interest on the foreign account was a separate transaction. The duty to report the existence of the foreign bank account in April of 1981, was a sepa- rate transaction, unrelated to what had gone before. The mere fact that Harvey failed to disclose funds the existence of which he had disclosed under a grant of to. Even if Haney was certain that he intended cal the exigence of the Cayman Islands and the interest earned there from his acre tax returns. that would not suffice to make the threat of future prosecution "real and substantial." A witness may not say under a grant of immunity, I ant an inveterate tax cheat," and later claim Immunity from any fu. tune tax violations. The law will not deem his risk of incrimination substantial because the law expects him to be honest in the future. EFTA00191785
U.S. I HARVEY Duo sal* ?id 14.19 (11thClr. teem immunity does not alter the independent understanding it is possible to apply duty Harvey had to report his income accu- correct analysis to the case at hand. rately. We must reject Harvey's argument that the 1980 grant of transactional immunity somehow shielded the Cayman Islands funds themselves from the reach of the tax laws." There is no such thing as in rem immunity. Harvey became immune from prosecution for those transactions about which he testified, but the money he dis- closed did not somehow partake of this immunity. The grant of transactional im- munity the government extended to Har- vey in 1980 does not prohibit prosecution for tax violations he allegedly committed in the years following that grant of immunity. CONCLUSION For the reasons we have stated above, we REVERSE the decision of the district court and REMAND for proceedings con- sistent with this opinion. CLARK, Circuit Judge, dissenting: The majority has written a well reasoned opinion on the scope of formal statutory immunity. Insofar as the court holds that under a formal grant of immunity, an indi- vidual is shielded from prosecution only to the extent of his Fifth Amendment privi- lege, I believe it correctly states the law. Unfortunately, this case does not involve formal statutory• immunity. Instead, this case involves an agreement between the defendant and the prosecutor in which the prosecutor agreed not to prosecute the de- fendant in return for his cooperation. Not only does the majority fail to recognize the fundamental difference between the two forma of immunity, it assumes that the same rules apply to formal and informal immunity. Since the same principles do not apply, i dissent. To understand why the analysis of the majority is erroneous, it is necessary to understand the various forms of "immunity." Only with that IS. Whether Harvey himself reasonably believed this is a matter for the jury, which under 26 US.C. 1/2 7201 and 7206(1) must find that he wilfully violated the reporting requirements of I 1449 the In two key sections, the majority states that the same rules apply to formal and informal immunity. Supra at 1444, 1446. Specifically the majority holds that the scope of any grant of immunity is defined by the Fifth Amendment. Before explain- ing this error, it is necessary to understand the difference between transactional and use immunity as well as the difference between formal and informal immunity. Transactional immunity "accords full im- munity from prosecution for the offense to which the compelled testimony relates." Kastigar v. United States, 406 U.S. 441, 463, 92 S.Ct. 1653, 1661, 32 L.Ed.2d 212 (1972). Use immunity, on the other hand, is more limited; it protects the individual from prosecution through the use of the immunized testimony or evidence derived from that testimony. Therefore, while transactional immunity prohibits any fu- ture prosecution, use immunity only limits the government's manner of proof in a subsequent prosecution. This distinction is significant in this case because the magis- trate found that the government granted Harvey "transactional immunity" or full immunity from prosecution. As the majori- ty correctly states, the issue in this case is the scope of that "transactional immunity." The majority holds that the scope is coex- tensive with the Fifth Amendment privi- lege. To understand why the majority is incorrect, it is necessary to understand the distinction between formal and informal im- munity. Because the two forms of immu- nity come from different sources, the scope of each type of immunity differs. Formal or statutory immunity is set out in 18 U.S.C. § 6001 et seq. Immunity is granted by a court upon the U.S. Attor- ney's request when a witness refuses to testify before a grand jury or at trial based the tax code. See supra. notes I & 2. We need not address the reasonableness of Harvey's be- lief. EFTA00191786
