Nolan filed a 12 page brief defending the legality of the 1970 Johnson county grand jury which indicted eight Johnson county officials on accepting or offering a gratuity.

He noted only one Iowa case dealt with a grand jury extending across years and that all jurors need not be present at every moment of deliberation. The indicted include Supervisors Edward Kessler Ralph Prybil former supervisor Clayton Mahoney assistant county engineers Harvey Luther Chester Vonsen A. J. Murphy L. K. Peking Jr and Isaac Shaver.
