appeal and discern no breach by the government of the plea

agreement between it and the defendant. We likewise find no hint

that the district court violated the representations it made to

the defendant at the change-of-plea hearing. Consequently, there

is no cognizable basis for defendant's request that he be

permitted to withdraw his guilty plea.

Defendant's remaining assignments of error pertain to

the imposition of sentence. The situation in this respect is

clouded by two recent developments. For one thing, the Probation

Office's policy in connection with a matter material to the

computation of drug quantity for purposes of imposing mandatory

minimum sentences has changed significantly. For another thing,

the Second Circuit decided United States v. Darmand, 3 F.3d 1578,
________________________

1581 (2d Cir. 1993) (holding that "[u]nlike the [Sentencing]

Guidelines, which require a sentencing court to consider similar

conduct in setting a sentence, the statutory mandatory minimum

sentences of 21 U.S.C. 841(b)(1) apply only to the conduct

which actually result[s] in a conviction under that statute").

If this case correctly states the law a matter on which we take

no view it may have substantial implications for the duration

of defendant's sentence. Under these unusual circumstances, the

parties agreed at oral argument that these developments merit

further consideration; and that, in the interests of justice, the

sentence previously imposed should be expunged, and a new

sentencing hearing convened. We agree. We, therefore, vacate

The defendant's conviction is affirmed. The
