Opinion
C. A. No. 74-119.
May 13, 1974
An appeal by a defendant in a criminal case is controlled by Rule 4(b) of the Rules of Supreme Court, and nothing contained in G.L. 1956 (1969 Reenactment) § 9-24-32, as amended by P.L. 1972, ch. 169, § 10 permits such a defendant to claim an immediate appeal from a pretrial order denying his motion to suppress. Accordingly, the defendant's motion that further proceedings in the Superior Court be stayed pending review of that court's denial of this motion to suppress is denied.
Richard J. Israel, Attorney General, Arthur A. Thovmasian, Jr., Special Asst. Attorney General, for plaintiff.
Frank S. Cappuccio, for defendant.
