See United States v. Jenkins, supra; United States v. Febre, supra. Therefore, because appellant will not be prejudiced by our not reviewing the validity of the conviction for possession, and, because the special circumstances of this case would require not merely appellate review but also an initial hearing on the question of the arrest and the possibility of the existence in that connection of exigent circumstances, this court, without considering the validity of the conviction on Count II, affirms the judgment of conviction.

PER CURIAM.

Robert and Orvilla Jenkins appeal from an order of the Southern District denying their motions to vacate the judgments and set aside their sentences under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1964), entered in 1965. Robert was convicted on one count of selling cocaine, 28 U.S.C. §§ 173, 174 (1964), one count of conspiracy to sell cocaine, and one count of selling cocaine without the proper order forms, 26 U.S.C. § 4705(a) (1964). Orvilla was convicted on three counts of selling, one conspiracy count, and one order form count. The defendants received the mandatory minimum five year sentences on each count, to be served concurrently; their direct appeal was dismissed in 1967 for want of prosecution.

In the light of Turner v. United States, 396 U.S. 398, 90 S.Ct. 642, 24 L.Ed.2d 610 (1970), the government concedes that the conspiracy and sale convictions cannot stand. In Minor v. United States, 396 U.S. 87, 90 S.Ct. 284, 24 L.Ed.2d 283 (1969), however, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the order form statute, and the government here argues that the Jenkins’ conviction on these counts should not be set aside. We agree.

It appears from a perusal of the record that substantially all the proof offered on the invalid counts was also admissible on the order form count. Therefore no prejudice could have resulted from a trial of all the counts in the in[*150] dictment. See United States v. Febre, 425 F.2d 107 (1970).

We order this action remanded to the district court for vacation of the judgments and setting aside the convictions of Robert and Orvilla Jenkins for selling cocaine and conspiring to sell cocaine. We affirm so much of the order appealed from as denied vacation of the order form convictions.
