STEPHENSON, Circuit Judge
(concurring and dissenting).
Assuming arguendo that the order of the district court denying appellant’s motion to dismiss Count I is an appealable order I concur with parts II and III of the majority opinion.
However, I respectfully dissent from part I of the majority opinion because it is my view that the order denying dismissal of Count I is not a final decision appealable under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. I am in accord with the views expressed in United States v. Bailey, 512 F.2d 833 (5th Cir. 1975). Cf. United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683, 690-92, 94 S.Ct. 3090, 41 L.Ed.2d 1039 (1974).
I would deny the petition for writ of mandamus for the reason that exception*189al circumstances justifying invocation of this extraordinary remedy do not exist. Will v. United States, 389 U.S. 90, 95, 88 S.Ct. 269, 19 L.Ed.2d 305 (1967).
