Per Curiam.

In its brief opposing the petition for certiorari, the Government concedes that the District Court erroneously refused to give petitioner’s character evidence instruction to the jury, but argues that the error was harmless. The Government’s concession of error, as well as its harmless-error argument, should be presented to the Court of Appeals in the first instance. The motion of petitioner for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and the petition for writ of certiorari are granted, the judgment of the Court of Appeals is vacated, and the case is remanded to the Court of Appeals for consideration of the Government’s concession of error.

It is so ordered.
