In re Search Warrant for Law Office Computer

(1) The Office of the Public Defender ("the Public Defender") filed this appeal from a decision of the Superior Court dated June 22, 2001. The Superior Courts decision dismissed the Public Defenders petition for return of seized property on the ground that the petition was moot. The State represented to the Superior Court that the seized property, a computer hard drive used by an employee of the Public Defender, had not been examined or searched and that it wished to return the hard drive to the Public Defender. Among other things, the Superior Courts decision ordered the Public Defender to retrieve the hard drive.
