JUDGE ENTZ'S REPLY TO MOTION FOR INTERIM RELIEF 
  

Defendant-Intervenor Dallas County District Judge F. 

Harold Entz ("Judge Entz") joins in Judge Wood's reply to the 

motion for interim relief. Judge Entz notes that the Fifth 

Circuit's January 11, 1990 stay order, a copy of which is 

attached to Judge Wood's reply as Exhibit "A," was clarified 

in a further order dated March 28, 1990, .a copy of which is 

attached to this Reply as Exhibit "A." That order further 

jllustrates this Court's lack of jurisdiction to consider the 

motion for interim relief. 

WHEREFORE, Judge Entz respectfully requests the Court to 

dismiss the motion for interim relief for lack of jurisdiction. 

Respectfully submitted,
