McKAY, Circuit Judge,
concurring in the remand to the trial court for consideration of a motion for bail in light of United States v. Affleck, 765 F.2d 944 (10th Cir. 1985):
The record in this case simply does not present an adequate basis for an informed judgment about the eligibility of this applicant for bail pending appeal. Among other shortages, there is an absence of information about the basis for the trial court’s denial of bail pending appeal. I would only add that the government’s theory that the defendant would be “an economic” danger to the community is a novel interpretation of that provision which, if properly before this court, should be rejected out of hand.
I would remand to the trial court for consideration of defendant’s motion for bail pending appeal in light of United States v. Affleck, 765 F.2d 944 (10th Cir.1985).
