Before METZNER, MAXWELL and LACEY, Judges.


METZNER, Judge.

Tosco Corporation (Tosco) petitions for a writ of mandamus to vacate a preliminary injunction issued by Judge Eubanks in Oklahoma Refining Company v. Department of Energy (W.D.Okla.). That injunction bars DOE from publishing any further entitlements notices until a mechanism is developed to assure that funds will remain available to satisfy any grant of exception relief to Oklahoma Refining. Tosco was not a party to the proceeding below.
