PARKS, Presiding Judge,
specially concurring:
I concur with both the result reached by Judge Brett in this case and the rationale underlying the same. I agree that, in the absence of special circumstances, 12 O.S. 1981, §§ 2401, 2403 precludes, on grounds of relevance, the use of a defendant’s pretrial silence to impeach his trial testimony. I write separately only to note that the New York Court of Appeals reached this same conclusion through a scholarly analysis of the issue in People v. Conyers, 52 N.Y.2d 454, 438 N.Y.S.2d 741, 420 N.E.2d 933 (1981).
ORDER WITHDRAWING OPINION OF MAY 6, 1985
On May 6, 1985, this Court entered an UNPUBLISHED OPINION in the above styled and numbered appeal. Thereafter, on May 21, 1985, the Attorney General filed a petition for rehearing. On the basis of that petition for rehearing the original opinion was withdrawn and on March 31, 1986, a second published opinion was filed.
Through inadvertance the opinion of May 6, 1985, was not withdrawn by order.
NOW THEREFORE, in order to clarify the record, this Court finds that an order should be entered showing that the original opinion was withdrawn.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED, that the record shall reflect that the opinion of May 6, 1985, was officially withdrawn and a second opinion filed on March 31,1986, was entered in lieu of the original opinion. Judge Ed Parks filed a special concurrence to the opinion of March 31, 1986.
WITNESS OUR HANDS AND THE SEAL OF THIS COURT this 2nd day of March, 1986.
ED PARKS, P.J.
TOM BRETT, J.
