C. A. 9th Cir. [Probable jurisdiction postponed, 430 U. S. 982.] Case restored to calendar for reargument. Counsel requested to brief and discuss during oral argument the following questions:
[981]*9811. Is the rule heretofore applied in the federal courts — that jeopardy attaches in jury trials when the jury is sworn — constitutionally mandated?
2. Should this Court hold that the Constitution does not require jeopardy to attach in any trial — state or federal, jury or nonjury — until the first witness is sworn?
The Solicitor General is invited to file a brief expressing the views of the United States on each of these questions.
