2018First, the decision in Casal is A-1083-17T1 15 not binding precedent. 3 Second, Casal is in direct conflict with our Supreme Court's holding in State v. Milligan, 71 N.J. 373 (1976), which is binding precedent.4 To the extent defendant’s Casal argument is an assertion that the denial of his request for an in camera hearing as to the identity of the CI was error, we disagree.

2018Even an in camera hearing "will effectively reduce cooperation with the police and defeat the purposes which underlie the informer's privilege." Milligan, 71 N.J. at 393 n.12.
