ADAMS, Circuit Judge
(concurring and dissenting).
It is, perhaps, unlikely that Gissen would be able to evade the effect of the Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v. General Services Administration, - U.S. -, 96 S.Ct. 1961, 48 L.Ed.2d 402, 44 U.S.L.W. 4704 (U.S. June 1, 1976), if he were given a chance to present his case to the district court. Nonetheless, I believe that he should be given an opportunity to attempt to persuade that tribunal in the first instance, and that this court should decide the matter only in the event that an appeal is takén from an eventual judgment entered there. Such a course would appear to be particularly appropriate in view of the fact that Gissen has alleged discrimination by a government agency on the basis of race and religion.
Accordingly, I would vacate the judgment of the district court and remand with instructions to consider whether dismissal is required by Brown.
