ORDER

Before BROWNING, WALLACE and KENNEDY, Circuit Judges.

1

The petitioner, resisting removal in a proceeding under Rule 40, F.R.Crim.P., seeks a writ of mandamus directing the removal court to: order the United States Government to provide petitioner with copies of court wiretap orders, and accompanying applications, and the contents of intercepted wire communications and evidence derived therefrom; and to allow petitioner to raise the issue of the legality of the wire interceptions by way of a motion to suppress, as envisioned under 18 U.S.C. § 2518(10)(a).

2

Upon due consideration, the petition for writ of mandamus is hereby denied. See In Re Ellsberg, 446 F.2d 954 (1st Cir. 1971).

3

The petitioner's motion to stay removal pending our decision on the petition for writ of mandamus is denied as moot.
