PELL, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
The record in this case scarcely indicates that Robinson was benefitting from YCA treatment. Two federal district judges determined, one explicitly and the other in effect, that Robinson would receive no benefit from YCA treatment. These determinations would be effective in any event, whenever and however, the YCA period of the sentence was completed. That might have been very shortly after the date on which the adult sentences were entered.
While I see, on this record, no indication to think that either Robinson or society will benefit by continuing the YCA treatment, Congress, by the statute applicable in this case, has mandated the continuance.
Accordingly, I concur in Judge Swygert’s opinion.
