UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Richard Glynn BYRD, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 73-1426.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    May 28, 1974.

    Anthony J. P. Farris, U. S. Atty., Robert G. Darden, Asst. U. S. Atty., Houston, Tex., for plaintiff-appellee.
    ON PETITION FOR REHEARING AND PETITION FOR REHEARING EN BANC
    Opinion Sept. 7,1973, 5 Cir., 1973, 483 F.2d 1196.
    Before BELL, GODBOLD and IN-GRAHAM, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

We grant appellee’s petition for rehearing. In United States v. Miller, 492 F.2d 37 (5th Cir., 1974), the court held that Almeida-Sanchez v. United States, 1973, 413 U.S. 266, 93 S.Ct. 2535, 37 L.Ed.2d 596, should be given only prospective application. We therefore abandon any reliance upon Almeida-Sanchez. We do, however, sustain our prior reversal upon the authority of United States v. Storm, 480 F.2d 701 (5th Cir., 1973), and Marsh v. United States, 344 F.2d 317 (5th Cir., 1965), as discussed therein. See also United States v. Bursey, 491 F.2d 531 (5th Cir., 1974). 
      
      . United States v. Byrd, 483 F.2d 1196 (1973).
