1Per curiam

In this Social Security Act case, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 405(g), the government moved in the district court to dismiss plaintiff’s petition for review because it was not timely filed. The government has not quite confessed error but almost. It has not filed a brief but a written statement setting out that it did not know the full facts at the time it filed a motion to dismiss; it cites to this court cases supporting plaintiff’s argument that his petition was timely filed. The government’s candor is appropriate and helpful.

We agree with plaintiff and reverse.
