A clerk for J udge Reynaldo Garza of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals made a personal statement in an opinion he drafted. The clerk, Stephen J. Riggs, filled the opinion with about 25 references to the Talking Heads . They went by the judges unnoticed. The case, United States v. Abner, 825 F.2d 835 (5th Cir. 1987) , concerned the conviction of Richie Abner of fa~ure to file a currency transaction report when he wired money to a bank in another state. Each of the opinion's sections is titled with a Talking Heads album or song nam~. The facts section is "True Stories." The others, in order, are titled " Fear of Music," "Speaking in Tongues," and "Remain in Light." Defendant Abner, wrote Riggs, had led a "wild wild life" of corporate alter egos. He decided to " pull ~p the roots" and move, having several "houses in motion" at one point. Abner got involved in one transaction describ ed as a " once in a lifetime" deal for which he later had to '''face the music'" at an IRS audit. All of the quoted phrases are Talking Heads song titles. Abner was the last opinion drafted before the end of Dean of Power Lounging in Expansive Mood Riggs' tenure as clerk. One friend called it Riggs' "swan song."
