Opinion:
BY THE COURT:
Applying to the request of CBS, Inc. for a stay of the order issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana on January 15, 1983, in United States v. McKenzie, the same criteria as were outlined in the opinion of this court issued on January 15, 1983, we grant the request and we stay that order. We recognize that the district court has now limited the relief granted both geographically and temporally. However, our review of the transcript of the proceedings held by the district court on the evening of January 15, 1983 (which includes the district court's findings), indicates that on what the district court properly viewed as an important issue—the impact of the program to be shown by CBS on the Dallas metropolitan area jury pool—the evidence is too speculative to support the relief granted.
STAY GRANTED.
Circuit Judge GEE would deny the stay of the modified order issued on January 15, 1983 for reasons to be stated in an opinion to be filed.
