Upon consideration of the foregoing, and at petitioner's request treating the petition as seeking alternatively a writ of mandamus or of prohibition, and it appearing that there is substantial doubt as to the jurisdiction of this Court to entertain the petition, and that in any event petitioner does not contest her obligation to appear as a witness before a grand jury of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington pursuant to the subpoena issued and served for that purpose, and that petitioner can raise in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington any and all of the issues presented by the petition, and that petitioner will have ample opportunity to do so prior to any appearance before the grand jury, and that in consequence there is no basis for granting the extraordinary relief sought by the petition, it is
Ordered by the Court that the aforesaid petition be and hereby is dismissed, and it is
