UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Intervenor-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas

On Petition for Rehearing and Suggestion for Rehearing En Banc
(Opinion September 16, 1992, 5th Cir. 1992, --- F.2d ---)
Before HIGGINBOTHAM and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges, and HUNTER,* District Judge.
PER CURIAM:
We vacate part V of our opinion in Bareford v. General
Dynamics Corp., --- F.2d --- (5th Cir. 1992), and substitute the
following therefor:
* Senior District Judge of the Western District of Louisiana, sitting by designation. Plaintiffs challenge on First Amendment grounds the district
court order to the parties not to communicate any information about
the litigation to anyone except essential legal staff. We are
persuaded that the maintenance of this order is a matter that must
be remanded to the district court to examine in the first instance
in light of this Court's rulings.
In all other respects, the order of the district court,
dismissing plaintiffs' claims, is AFFIRMED.
The Petition for Rehearing is DENIED and no member of this
panel nor Judge in regular active service on the Court having
requested that the Court be polled on rehearing en banc, (Federal
Rules of Appellate Procedure and Local Rule 35) the Suggestion for
Rehearing En Banc is DENIED.
