The following excerpt is from Holland v. Scully, 797 F.2d 57 (2nd Cir. 1986):
Holland claims that the trial court's refusal to grant a severance, combined with the admission at trial of the statements of his nontestifying co-defendants, violated his sixth amendment right of confrontation under Bruton v. United States, 391 U.S. 123, 88 S.Ct. 1620, 20 L.Ed.2d 476 (1968).
