MERRITT, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
In Wayte v. United States, 470 U.S. 598, 105 S.Ct. 1524, 84 L.Ed.2d 547 (1985), a majority of the Supreme Court overruled my view that the defendant is entitled to an evidentiary hearing on his First Amend-*422merit claims of selective prosecution as set out in my opinion for the Court in United States v. Schmucker, 721 F.2d 1046 (6th Cir.1983). Wayte, is a precedent binding on this Court. I therefore concur in the opinion of the Court on the issues controlled by Wayte. On the other issues, I concur in the opinion of the Court for the reasons stated in the Court’s opinion.
