Opinion

Docket No. 3,567.

Decided June 10, 1968.

Appeal from Recorder's Court of Detroit, Traffic and Ordinance Division, Maher (Richard M.), J. Submitted Division 1 June 5, 1968, at Detroit. (Docket No. 3,567.) Decided June 10, 1968.

Mary Morgan was convicted of failure to surrender a dog for rabies observation in violation of an ordinance of the City of Detroit. Defendant appeals. Reversed and remanded for a new trial.

Robert Reese, Corporation Counsel, and Robert D. McClear, Assistant Corporation Counsel, for plaintiff.

Jane Kerr, for defendant on appeal.


Defendant appeals her conviction for violating an ordinance of the city of Detroit. A review of the record demonstrates that defendant was denied a fair trial because she was denied right of cross-examination and an opportunity to produce a witness, but the record does not establish that defendant is entitled to have the charge against her dismissed as requested by defendant on this appeal.

Reversed and remanded for a new trial.

QUINN, P.J., and FITZGERALD and J.H. GILLIS, JJ., concurred.
