MacKINNON, Circuit Judge,
concurring in part and dissenting in part:
Appellant’s counsel was informed of the purpose of the hearing an ample time in advance. Thus since much of the *1264claimed lack of fairness and due process here is traceable in part to the failure of appellant’s counsel to consult with his client until immediately before the proceedings, and since new procedural rules for probation revocations have been promulgated in the interim, I would merely order an immediate new hearing under the new rules without reinstating appellant’s probation. To this extent I concur in Judge McGowan’s opinion.
