McWILLIAMS, Circuit Judge,
specially concurring.
I concur. The government’s attempted appeal of the district court’s order suppressing use at trial of evidence of other acts or transactions is, under the statute, untimely. However, and admittedly by way of obiter dicta, in my view the order of the district court suppressing the use at trial of evidence of other acts and transactions is, under the facts and circumstances of this case, egregiously. wrong. See United States v. Cotner, 657 F.2d 1171, 1173 (10th Cir. 1981); United States v. Van Cleave, 599 F.2d 954, 957 (10th Cir. 1979); United States v. Moore, 556 F.2d 479, 485 (10th Cir. 1977). Moore, in particular, is quite similar to the instant case.
