1Opinion of the Court

HATCHETT, Circuit Judge.

Again, we reverse and remand a case to a district court because the district court did not comply with the notice requirements of Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c).

In June, 1984, the state of Florida involuntarily committed Jerry Sammons, the appellant, to the Florida State Mental Hospital, thereby making it a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(h)(4) for Sammons thereafter to receive firearms transported in interstate commerce.1 On December 12, 1984, federal agents seized firearms and ammunition in Sammons’s possession. A jury subsequently convicted Sammons of firearms possession.2
