The judgment of the Court of Appeals in the above case was reversed by this court upon certiorari. 1 The Supreme Court of the United States reversed this court's judgment and remanded the case for further consideration in light of Steagald v. United States, 451 U.S. ----, 101 S.Ct. 1642, 68 L.Ed.2d 38 (1981). 2 Steagald reversed United States v. Gaultney (Steagald), 606 F.2d 540 (5th Cir. 1979), upon which this court relied. Accordingly, our opinion and judgment are vacated and the certiorari is dismissed as improvidently granted.
