ORDER

DAVID S. DOTY, Judge, United States District Court

This matter is before the court upon the court's own motion to vacate its March 12, 2002, order granting the government's request for permission to file a motion for partial reconsideration and upon Diageo's motion for stay of order pending resolution of the United States' motion for partial reconsideration. Pursuant to Local Rule 7.1(g), motions to reconsider are prohibited except by express permission of the court, which will be granted only upon a showing of "compelling circumstances." Local Rule 7.1(g). After reviewing the file and the record, including the recently produced transcript showing that Magistrate Judge Mason did except one category of documents from in camera review, the court concludes that compelling circumstances no longer exist that would justify partial reconsideration of this matter. See Local Rule 7.1(g)

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that

1. The court's March 12, 2002, order is vacated and the government's request for permission to file a motion for partial reconsideration is denied.

2. Diageo's motion for stay of order pending resolution of the United States' motion for partial reconsideration is denied as moot.
