PER CURIAM.

Order is unanimously reversed on the law, motion to suppress denied and matter remanded for trial.

Since a pen register does not "intercept communication", its use does not require prior judicial approval (United States v. Auler, 7 Cir., 539 F.2d 642; United States v. Clegg, 5 Cir., 509 F.2d 605; United States v. Baxter, 9 Cir., 492 F.2d 150; Korman v. United States, 7 Cir., 486 F.2d 926; People v. Stewart, 73 Misc.2d 399, 342 N.Y.S.2d 127).
