Heading: The Recorded Conversations

Text: Force, whose credibility is a key issue, was a party to the conversations and recorded those portions of the conversations which he deemed relevant. The entire conversations, or only a limited portion of them, may have been recorded, but the recording, in any event, is part and parcel of the factual background and might be admissible in determining the credibility of Force. People v. Smith, supra . The notes, if they are in substance recitals of the oral statements allegedly made by Force, are likewise discoverable if they are not otherwise subject to suppression under the provisions of Crim.P. 16. People v. Manier, 184 Colo. 44, 51, 518 P.2d 811 (1974); Ortega v. People, 162 Colo. 358, 426 P.2d 180 (1967). The remaining issues do not require further exposition. Accordingly, the rule to show cause is made absolute, and the cause is remanded for proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.
