`_________________________________ORDER________________________________
`The foregoing Petition for a Writ of Mandamus is DENIED. Petitioners have not
`demonstrated that exceptional circumstances warrant the requested relief. See Cheney v.
`U.S. Dist. Court for Dist. of Columbia, 542 U.S. 367, 380-81 (2004). Our Court has
`
`
`
`Case: 24-1295 Document: 93-1 Page: 2 Date Filed: 03/18/2024
`
`recently emphasized the “high bar” that Petitioners face under the standard for obtaining
`mandamus relief. In re Abbott Laboratories, 2024 WL 1040669, at *4 (3d Cir. Feb. 22,
`2024). The request for oral argument is DENIED as moot.
