BAZELON, Circuit Judge:
On the motion of defendants in Halkin v. Helms, Civ. No. 75 1773 (D.D.C.), the district court entered an order on February 14, 1976 prohibiting the parties and counsel in that case from making any extra-judicial statements about information produced through discovery, and from publicly disclosing any material produced through discovery, except by making such material a part of the court record. Plaintiffs in that case now petition this court for a writ of mandamus and/or prohibition1 vacating the district court’s order.
