The Miranda decision was designed to prevent further interrogation, and thus a statement is admissible if volunteered — even if an attorney is on the way (see Biddy v Diamond, 516 F2d 118, 123, cert den 425 US 950 ; see, also, Cobbs v Robinson, 528 F2d 1331, 1342, cert den 424 US 947 ).

Reporter's Syllabus — editorial summary, not part of the Court's opinion

On petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Court of Appeal for the Seventh Circuit.

The motion of the respondent for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted.

The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied.

Mr. Justice WHITE, with whom Mr. Justice POWELL joins, dissenting.

The question whether due process requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt in such proceedings has produced divergent conclusions in the Courts of Appeals. Compare Tippett v. Maryland, 436 F.2d 1153 (CA4 1971), cert. dismissed sub nom. Murel v. Baltimore City Criminal Court, 407 U.S. 355, 92 S.Ct. 2091, 32 L.Ed.2d 791 (1972) (proof by a preponderance of the evidence), with In re Ballay, 157 U.S.App.D.C. 59, 482 F.2d 648 (1973), and United States ex rel. Stachulak v. Coughlin, 520 F.2d 931 (CA7 1975) (proof beyond a reasonable doubt).* The question is important to the administration of justice in this country, and the Court should shoulder its responsibility to resolve the conflicting judgments.

I would grant the petition for a writ of certiorari and afford the case plenary consideration

Mr. Justice STEVENS took no part in the consideration or decision of this motion and petition.

Lead Opinion

C. A. 7th Cir. Motion of respondent for leave to proceed in forma pauperis granted. Certiorari denied.

Mr. Justice Stevens took no part in the consideration or decision of this motion and petition.

Dissent

Mr. Justice White, with whom Mr. Justice Powell joins,

dissenting.

On appeal from an order granting respondent a writ of habeas corpus, 369 F. Supp. 628 (ND Ill. 1973), the Court of Appeals held, United States ex rel. Stachulak v. Coughlin, 520 F. 2d 931 (CA7 1975), that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment requires that the reasonable-doubt standard of proof be applied in judicial proceedings under the Illinois Sexually Dangerous Persons Act, Ill. Rev. Stat., c. 38, § 105-1.01 et seg. (1973), which authorizes the State to seek involuntary indeterminate commitment to a correctional institution in lieu of criminal prosecution of a person charged[*948] with a criminal offense and believed to be sexually dangerous within the meaning of the Act.

The question whether due process requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt in such proceedings has produced divergent conclusions in the Courts of Appeals. Compare Tippett v. Maryland, 436 F. 2d 1153 (CA4 1971), cert. dismissed sub nom. Murel v. Baltimore City Criminal Court, 407 U. S. 355 (1972) (proof by a preponderance of the evidence), with In re Ballay, 157 U. S. App. D. C. 59, 482 F. 2d 648 (1973), and United States ex rel. Stachulak v. Coughlin, supra (proof beyond a reasonable doubt).* The question is important to the administration of justice in this country, and the Court should shoulder its responsibility to resolve the conflicting judgments.

I would grant the petition for a writ of certiorari and afford the case plenary consideration.

Several state courts are also at odds with the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. See, e. g., People v. Pembrock, 62 Ill. 2d 317, 342 N. E. 2d 28 (1976); People v. Burnick, 14 Cal. 3d 306, 535 P. 2d 352 (1975); In re Andrews,-Mass.-, 334 N. E. 2d 15 (1975); In re Levias, 83 Wash. 2d 253, 517 P. 2d 588 (1973).
