ERVIN, Circuit Judge,
concurring specially:
I am in complete agreement with the result reached by my colleagues and with the rationale given for their legal conclusions.
I write separately only to indicate that I do not necessarily subscribe to the statements and reasoning relating to the situation described as the “special ease” in Part II-B, Sections 1 and 2 of the opinion (opinion pp. 641-45). I have the same concerns about much of what is written about Circumstances A), B), C) and D). It is my view that the opinion goes substantially beyond what is required to enable us to decide this particular case and I believe that we should limit our decision to the issues that resolve the *649legal questions before us. Other issues are best left for another day.
It is not my premise that the present opinion undertakes to create precedent with reference to the Olano “special ease” situation or to any of the other issues discussed which are not essential to our holding. In fact, a fair reading indicates the opposite. I simply prefer a less expansive discussion of the case before us.
