Opinion
ELCHUK v. UNITED STATES.
No. 965,
Misc.
Decided June 25, 1962.
Petitioner pro se.
Solicitor General Cox, Assistant Attorney General Miller and Beatrice Rosenberg for the United States.
[MAJORITY — Per Curiam.]
Per Curiam.
The motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and the petition for a writ of certiorari are granted. Upon the suggestion of the Solicitor General and an examination of the entire record, the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit is vacated and the case is remanded to that court for further proceedings in which the petitioner is to be accorded the opportunity to present oral argument on the merits of his appeal, either personally or through counsel, to the same extent as such opportunity is accorded to the United States Attorney.
