HOLLOWAY and LOGAN, Circuit Judges,
concurring:
We concur in everything stated in the opinion in this case except the discussion of the confrontation clause rights in Part II .A. of Judge McKay’s opinion. We neither agree nor disagree with the discussion of those confrontation clause rights and United States v. West, 574 F.2d 1131 (4th Cir. 1978). We do not have to reach the point discussed there because if Balano had such rights they were waived, as the trial judge found and as this opinion affirms. We would prefer to wait until we have a case which requires a decision on that issue.
