MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Cohen, 388 F.2d 464 (9th Cir. 1967):
16 The government relies principally upon the pronouncement in Deck v. United States, 119 U.S.App.D.C. 240, 339 F.2d 739, 740-741 (1964), "that one who holds papers against the owner's demands for their return cannot resist production by claiming the privilege against self-incrimination." Compare In re Fahey, 300 F. 2d 383 (6th Cir. 1961).
