1Opinion of the Court
JERRE S. WILLIAMS, Circuit Judge:
Appellant, Bernard Weintraub, was convicted of various criminal offenses arising from his involvement in a cocaine distribution conspiracy. He has filed a petition in the nature of habeas corpus under 28 U.S. C. § 2255 seeking to have his conviction vacated and his sentence set aside. We uphold his conviction. We must set aside the sentence and remand for further proceedings, however, based upon our conclusion that the prosecution improperly withheld favorable evidence that was material to Weintraub’s punishment.
