## Opinion text

JOHN R. BROWN, Chief Judge,
concurring:
I concur fully in the opinion and the result. I would simply emphasize that the Government’s appeal, impelled undoubtedly out of a desire for this Court to unscramble the confusion in the Northern District of Georgia 1 necessarily fails in that objective. Happily, we are not likely to have to face this in view of a newly enacted U.S. Parole Commission regulation, 41 Fed.Reg. 37321, which amended 28 C.F.R. § 2.17 , effective October 1976.
