## Opinion text

GALLAGHER, Senior Judge,
concurring:
I agree that, as the court states in section F of its opinion, because of the circumstances involved the agency’s decision in Ringgold should be construed as being prospective in this case. As the court states, this petitioner reasonably relied upon the agency’s prior Herring decision to his detriment.
On this basis, I agree with the court’s opinion, and concur in the result reached.
