                                 ____________

Before LOKEN, GRUENDER, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.

      Kenneth J. Jones, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order denying
his motion for compassionate release for failure to exhaust his administrative
remedies. The government concedes error and moves for remand, specifically
noting it earlier conceded Jones had exhausted administrative remedies.
Accordingly, we summarily reverse and remand for further proceedings on the
merits of Jones’s motion for compassionate release. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a). The
government’s motion is granted, except the remand will not be limited nor briefing
stayed as requested.
