REAVLEY, Circuit Judge,
concurring:
Instead of a formal motion by the United States Attorney to reinstate the second and third counts, the government attorney and defense attorney accepted Judge Walters’ statement that the reversal of his judgment put the court and parties back where they were prior to the plea and dismissal of the two counts, i.e. back with the four counts. Bounds was rearraigned on the four counts and pleaded to each of them. Trial proceeded without objection. Counts two and three were reinstated by acceptance of all attorneys and the court. There was no error. If the counts were not somehow reinstated, I fail to see the harmlessness.
I concur in the judgment and the opinion except for part IV.
