1Opinion of the Court
HEANEY, Circuit Judge.
The United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri held that the Missouri Sunshine Law does not prevent the Kansas City, Missouri School District Board of Directors from appearing before the district court’s Desegregation Monitoring Committee in closed session. Petitioner seeks a writ of mandamus instructing the district court to hold its order in abeyance. We deny the writ of mandamus, but remand the case for farther tailoring of the district court’s order in consideration of ideals of comity and the underlying concerns of state law.
