CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

Syllabus

Held: The Court of Appeals’ judgment affirming, on the basis of the "concurrent sentence" doctrine, petitioner’s mail fraud convictions -- the court having also affirmed, on the merits, his convictions for another offense -- is vacated, and the case is remanded for reconsideration of the applicability of the "concurrent sentence" doctrine, since the Solicitor General conceded in this Court that the mail fraud convictions were invalid.

Certiorari granted; 626 F.2d 868, vacated in part and remanded.
