District of Columbia Court of Appeals September 19, 1983, 81-1045 (Cutchember v. Payne)

NEBEKER, Associate Judge:

This is an appeal of a trial court ruling disallowing the introduction of the results of a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) test into evidence. These results would have demonstrated a high degree of probability that appellee fathered appellant’s child. Implicit in the trial court’s ruling is the determination that an HLA test is a blood test within the purview of D.C.
