Opinion

No. 73-2601. Summary Calendar.

Rule 18, 5 Cir.; see Isbell Enterprises, Inc. v. Citizens Casualty Company of New York et al., 5 Cir., 1970, 431 F.2d 409, Part I.

November 6, 1973.

Daniel S. Pearson, Bruce S. Rogow, Miami, Fla., for defendant-appellant.

J. Daniel Ennis, Asst. U.S. Atty., Miami, Fla., for plaintiff-appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

Before GEWIN, COLEMAN and MORGAN, Circuit Judges.



Lance Schenker appeals solely on the ground that he was improperly sentenced under the Youth Corrections Act, 18 U.S.C. § 5010 et seq. He complains that he was sentenced as an adult in the absence of an express finding by the trial court that he would not derive benefit from treatment, 18 U.S.C. § 5010(d). The government argues that such a finding is implicit in the sentence.

This is a dispute which can quickly be resolved by the District Court.

We vacate the sentence and remand to the District Court, where the appellant may be resentenced on his plea of guilty, according to law, and with appropriate findings under 18 U.S.C. § 5010(d).

Vacated and remanded.
