John J. Powers, III, James Laskey, Dept. of Justice, Washington, D.C., for U.S.A.

Before GOLDBERG, CHARLES CLARK and THOMAS A. CLARK, Circuit Judges.


CHARLES CLARK, Circuit Judge:

Because the district court erred by assessing the probative value of the evidence and because genuine issues of material fact exist, we reverse the judgment appealed from and remand this action to the district court.
