whereabouts of its confidential informant (“CI”) to counsel for the Appellee-

J-A33017-16
In its opinion, entered June 10, 2016, the trial court fully and correctly
sets forth the relevant facts and procedural history of this case. Trial Ct.
Op., 6/10/16, at 2-5. We summarize them here for the convenience of the
reader.
The criminal information states that the alleged offense was committed
on June 1, 2010. The affidavit of probable cause was not filed until May 26,
2015, almost five years later. According to that affidavit, an undercover
officer and the CI met with the Appellee. During that meeting, the officer
gave Appellee $200 to purchase drugs and told Appellee that he would
return in a half hour to pick up the drugs. Later, the officer returned without
the CI and received ten wrapped bags of heroin from the Appellee. Appellee
denies participating in the alleged transaction, and the CI was alleged to be
the only non-law enforcement witness.
On August 17, 2015, defense counsel made his first request for the
disclosure of the identity of the CI, along with other discovery requests. On
August 24, 2015, the Commonwealth complied with the other discovery
requests, but did not disclose any information about the CI. On March 28,
2016, defense counsel again requested the disclosure of the CI. Upon
receipt of this second request, the trial court scheduled an in camera
conference on March 30, 2016.
Following that conference, on March 31, 2016, the trial court ordered
the Commonwealth immediately to reveal the identity and whereabouts of
the CI to defense counsel and advised the Commonwealth that failure to
-2-
J-A33017-16
disclose the name would result in a dismissal of the charges. Order,
3/31/16, timestamped 9:05 A.M., at 1-3. The Commonwealth, in a motion
for reconsideration filed later that morning, refused to disclose the name of
the CI. Mot. for Recons., 3/31/16, at ¶ 7. That afternoon, the trial court
ordered the charges against Appellee dismissed. Order, 3/31/16,
timestamped 2:50 P.M., at 1. The Commonwealth’s timely appeal followed
on April 13, 2016.
The Commonwealth raises the following questions on appeal:
Did the trial court err by requiring the Commonwealth to divulge
the name and whe[re]abouts of its confidential informant to
counsel for [Appellee]?
Did the trial court err by dismissing the case against [Appellee]
as a remedy for the Commonwealth’s alleged discovery
violation?
Commonwealth’s Brief at 4.
“Our standard of review of claims that a trial court erred in its
disposition of a request for disclosure of an informant’s identity is confined to
abuse of discretion.” Commonwealth v. Jordan, 125 A.3d 55, 62 (Pa.
Super. 2015) (en banc), appeal denied, 134 A.3d 55 (Pa. 2016).
The first requirement in support of a petition to compel
disclosure of a confidential informant is that the defendant
demonstrate that production of the informant is material to his
defense. . . .
The second requirement for disclosing the identity of a
confidential informant is that the request must be reasonable.
...
-3-
J-A33017-16
Finally, appellant’s request for disclosure of the informant must
be in the interests of justice. In reviewing this requirement, this
court will apply the balancing test of Roviaro v. United States,
353 U.S. 53, 77 S. Ct. 623, 1 L. Ed. 2d 639 (1957):
We believe that no fixed rule with respect to
disclosure is justifiable. The problem is one that
calls for balancing the public interest in protecting
the flow of information against the individual’s right
to prepare his defense. Whether a proper balance
renders nondisclosure erroneous must depend on the
particular circumstances of each case, taking into
consideration the crime charged, the possible
defenses, the possible significance of the informer’s
testimony and other relevant factors. . . .
This court will not question a trial court’s finding of fact where it
is supported by the record.
Commonwealth v. Ross, 623 A.2d 827, 829-31 (Pa. Super. 1993)
(citations and internal quotation marks omitted), appeal denied, 644 A.2d
162 (Pa. 1994); accord Pa.R.Crim.P. 573(B)(2)(a)(i). In the instant action,
the trial court addressed each of these requirements, supporting its analysis
with citations to the record. See Trial Ct. Op., 6/10/16, 10-13. We agree
with the trial court’s analysis and conclusions. Therefore, for the
Commonwealth’s first issue, we affirm on the basis of the trial court opinion.
The Commonwealth argues that the CI’s information is not material
because Appellee “is charged with delivering heroin as opposed to receiving
$200” and the CI was present only for the payment of the money and not for
the receipt of the heroin. Commonwealth Brief’s at 12. But the
Commonwealth alleges that the unlawful transaction occurred in two stages
— delivery of the money for the heroin, and receipt of the heroin — and that
-4-
J-A33017-16
the CI was present for the first stage. As the only non-law enforcement
witness allegedly present, the CI is the one outside person who can testify to
whether Appellee was indeed the participant at the meeting where the first
part of the transaction occurred, something that Appellee denies. We
therefore agree with the trial court that the CI is material to Appellee’s
defense.
The Commonwealth’s second issue is that the trial court “erred in
dismissing the case against the [Appellee] as a remedy for the
Commonwealth’s alleged discovery violation.” Commonwealth’s Brief at 16.
However, Roviaro v. U.S., 353 U.S. 53, 60-61 (1957), held that the failure
of the government to disclose an informant’s identity after being ordered by
a court to do so warrants dismissal of the prosecution. The Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania has adopted this holding. See Commonwealth v. Marsh,
997 A.2d 318, 322 (Pa. 2010) (where the trial court requires disclosure of an
informer’s identity and the government withholds the information, the trial
court may dismiss the action); Commonwealth v. Carter, 233 A.2d 284,
287 (Pa. 1967) (same). The standard of review is abuse of discretion.
Jordan, 125 A.3d at 62, 65. For the reasons stated in the opinion by the
trial court, we conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by
dismissing the charges against Appellee, as such dismissal was both within
its power and an appropriate remedy.
-5-
J-A33017-16
The Commonwealth argues: “Had the [trial c]ourt determined that the
Commonwealth’s non-disclosure of the confidential informant’s identity
represented a discovery violation, it should have selected a remedy other
than dismissal of the prosecution.” Commonwealth’s Brief at 16. Our
review of the record discloses, however, that the Commonwealth never
requested such an alternative remedy before the trial court. Hence, any
request for an alternate sanction was waived and cannot be raised for the
first time on this appeal. Pa.R.A.P. 302(a) (“Issues not raised in the lower
court are waived and cannot be raised for the first time on appeal”).
The parties are instructed to attach a copy of the trial court's June 10,
2016, Opinion to all future filings.
Order affirmed.

~;r, The Criminal Information indicates that the alleged offense
,-
date was June 1, 2010. Three (3) years later charges were
filed and l~ter dismissed. The Complaint was then refiled on
May 26, 2015 approximately five (5) days prior to the
expiration of the statute of limitations. A jury was selected
on March 2, 2016, with the trjal date set for April 1, 2016.
The tlffidavit of probable cause, filed May 26, 2015,
essentially reveals the following salient facts:
The undercover Officer indicated that he overheard a
phone conversation between the CI and the Defendant. The
alleged CI and the undercover Officer went to the Defendant's
location. It is then alleged by the undercover Officer that
the CI was present and he observed a money transaction between
the undercover Officer and the Defendant. The affidavit goes
on to say that the undercover Officer returned, without the
CI, approximately thirty (30) minutes later where he obtained
ten (JO) wrapped baggies of suspected heroin.
Defendant filed various pretrial motions that were
disposed of in the Commonwealth's favor.
Defense counsel made his first request for the disclosure
of the CI, among other requests, dated August 17, 2015 (time
stamped August 19, 2015). Defense Counsel filed a Motion to
Extend Time to File Pretrial Motion on September 30, 2015.
This Court's Order (dated October 2, 2015) granted said
Motion, allowing leave to file Omnibus Pretrial Motions set
for November 10, 2015.
Defense Counsel then filed a Motion with this Court,
among other motions, requesting the disclosure of the CI on
March 28, 2016. In this Motion, Defense Counsel offers this
Court ti timeline of the prosecution starting June 1, 2010 and
continuing through March 2, 2016. Defense Counsel states,
"[t]hree years passed before the original complaint was
filed. It has been nearly two years since the original
complaint was dismissed. More th~n 365 days expired since the
dismissal o.r: the first prosecution." (Def e ns e Motion to
Dismiss: Speedy 'I'ri.=.il s Rul.e 600 s Motion for Discovery, pg.
;.c;
2, March 28, 2016) Defense Counsel further discusses the

information, and states that the "Defendant believes that the
I~
i Commonwealth's failure to disclose information critical to

~
~ the defense at trial affects his ability ... to obtain a fair
i:
s:;; trial." Id. at 2-4.
~
Upon the receipt of Defense Motion for Discovery and Rule
600, Speedy Trial, this Court Ordered a hearing/conference to
be held on March 30, 2016 in the Judge's Chambers at noon.
This Court's Order, dated March 31, 2016, Ordered the
Commonweal th to immediate] y reveal the Lderrt i ty and
whereabouts of the CI to Defense Counsel and advised that
failure to disclos~ would result in a dismissal of the
ch~rges. Thus, the Commonwealth was on continuous notice of
the request since August of 2015. See attached Order, dated
March 311 2016.
The Commonwealth, in a Motion for Reconsidertition (filed
March 31, 2106) I:"efused to disclose CI. See attached Motion
for Reconsideration.

It is proper for the Court to require disclosure of a CI
" as long as production of the informant would be: ( 1)

interests of justice." Cnm. v. Bedmond, 395 Pa. Super. 286,

analy~.i.ng the latter requirement, the Bonasorte court h8ld
that the balancing test of Roviaro v. United States, 353 U.S.
53, 77 s.ct. 623, 1 L.Ed.2d 639(1957), should be ~pplied."
Id., citing Bon21sorte, suprc1 c.1t 1372-73. "The e$sence of this
test 'is that a court confronted with a request for disclosure
of an informant's identity must balance the defendant's need
against the public interest.'" Id., citing Bonasorte, supra
at 1373.
"Specifically, Roviaro requires: [w] here the disclosure
of an informer's identity, or of the contents of his
communication is relevant and helpful to the defense of an
accused, or is essential to a fair determination of a cause,
the privilege [government's privilege to withhold identity of
confidential informants]must give way. In these situations
the trial court may require disclosure and, if the Government
withholds the information, dismiss the act:Lon."Redmond,supra.
Further, as to pretrial discovery, "[u]nder Pennsylvania

-
com. y. M~r~b_, 606 Pa. 254, 262, 997 A.2d 318, 322 (2010).
Furthermore, "ltJhe confrontation clause of the Sixth

the states through the Fourteenth Amendment, provides that
'[i]n nll crimjnal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the
right ... to be confronted with the witness against hlm.'"

Furthermore, this Court then exercised its discretion and

Purthermorc, in weighing the factors as outlined above,
and considering all relevant factors, this Court found that
the Defendant's Constitutional RJghts to confrontation
outweJghed the Commonwealth's interest in e s t ab l i.ah i.nq free

five years ago). As the Commonwealth was on notice and refused
to comply, the appropriate rem~dy in exercising sound
discretion was a dismissal of the charges.

continuing request for discovery in the above captioned case
the matters having been chiefly resolved with the exception
of whether the Commonwealth is required to reveal the
Confidential Informant the Court having heard argument by
M:c. Cicconi, Esq., repreoenting the Conunonwoalth and Mr.
Cancelmi, Eoq., representing the Defendant in determining
whether the name of a Confidential Informant ~hould bo
rovoaled the Cou~t $tarts with the constitutional right of

States and Pennsylvania constitutions balanced against the
need of the Commonwoa1th to ceok information from
confidential sources that allow the free flow of information

or,
·-
and allow the prosecution of other crimes. The Court must
strike a balance in the interest of justice in deciding
those factors. The Court is aware that this case is based on
allegations that happened in 2010 that charges were filed
against and later dismissed and charges were then refilled a
day short of the five year statute of limitations. One of
the factor~ the weighs is the need for the Defendant to
prepare of proper defense. Delay in the prosecution of any
case creates the distinct possibility that prejudice can
occur to eithe~ side, howeve~, since the Commonwealth is
always in charge of controlling the timing of the
prosecution the Court believes that in weighing the facto~s
the De£endant'~ con~titutional right to face his accuser
under these circumstances outweighs the bald assertion that
the revealing of confidential information may place the
Confidential Informant in oome danger and the Commonwealth's
aosertion that three of the team 0£ arresting officers do
not recall who the Confidential Informant is and also the
Defendant's indication through Defense counsel that his
defense may be one of entrapment. In balance the Court,
considering all factors necessa~y, ORDERS the Commonwealth
to immediately rovoal to Barry Cancelmi, Esq., attorney for
the Defendant the name and whereabouts of the Confidential

Informant to allow the Defendant to prepare a proper defense
in his trial. Case law indicates that failure to reveal the

I. Th1.: Dclcndunt filed a motion on March 28 2016, to inter alia, compel the
Commonwealth to disclose the identity of its Confidential Informant, four ( 4)
days prior to the scheduled trial in this matter.
2. The Court entered an Order on March 31, 2016 ordering the Commonwealth
to disclose the identity of the Confidential tnforrnant (copy attached).
3. Commonwealth provided Formal Discovery on August 24, 2015, in response
to Defendant' s Formal Discovery Request on August 17, 2015, and Defendant
was Formally Arraigned on August 31, 2015 (sec attachments).
4. Any Omnibus pretrial motion with regard to the Defendant's discovery
motion should have been filed within 30 days of Formal Arraignment in
accordance with Pa. Ruic of Criminal Procedure 579, unless opportunity did
not exist or the defendant or defense attorney or attorney for the

Commonwealth was not aware of the grounds for the motion or the time to
file has been extended by the Court.
5. It docs not appear that any or these exceptions to Rule 579 arc present in the
current matter.
6. Furthermore, in its motion to Compel Disclosure, the Defendant has not
shown that there is a reasonable possibility that the Confidential informant
could bring forth evidence exonerating the Defendant, as required by
established case law (Commonwealth v. Watson, 69 A.3d 605, 2013 PA Super
99, 2013, Commonwealth v. Roebuck, 545 Pa. 471~ 681 A.2d 1279, 1996), in
that, it is nut alleged that the Confidential Informant was present when the
exchange of drugs allegedly took pince.
7. The Commonwealth believes this Honorable Court erred by directing
disclosure of the Confidential Informant and the Commonwealth, accordingly,
will not disclose said in formation to Defense Counsel.
8. The Commonwealth stands ready for trial of th.is case on April 1, 2016.
WHEREFORE, The Cornrnonwculth respectfully requests this Honorable Court Lo
