Opinion for the court filed PER CURIAM.
ON A MOTION FOR SUMMARY REVERSAL OR STAY
2Per curiam
The Office of Independent Counsel (OIC) seeks summary reversal of the district court’s order to show cause why OIC should not be held in contempt for violating the grand jury secrecy rule, and its order appointing the United States Department of Justice as prosecutor of OIC in a criminal contempt proceeding. In the alternative, OIC seeks a stay of those orders pending appeal. We conclude we have jurisdiction to consider the interlocutory appeal and grant the motion for summary reversal.
