Before WISDOM, REAVLEY and JOHNSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

This expedited appeal challenges the constitutionality under the First Amendment of federal rules which prohibit televising, broadcasting, recording, and photographing proceedings in federal criminal trials. Based on our conclusion that the challenged rules do not violate the First Amendment, we affirm the district court's decision denying appellant-intervenor Russell Wise's application to broadcast the trial of Louisiana Governor Edwin W. Edwards.
