UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY CENTRAL DIVISION at LEXINGTON CIVIL ACTION NO. 10-3-KSF KIM LOGAN, as Legal Guardian for JAMES O. GUMM, JR. PLAINTIFF and KENTUCKY CABINET FOR HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES, THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY AND KENTUCKY MEDICAL SERVICES FOUNDATION v. INTERVENING PLAINTIFFS OPINION & ORDER COOPER TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY DEFENDANT ********** This matter is before the Court upon the motion of the defendant, Cooper Tire & Rubber Company ( Cooper Tire ), to prohibit all parties, their attorneys, and all witnesses from making any improper extrajudicial statements relating to this case before, during, or after trial [DE #198]. Specifically, Cooper Tire complains that counsel for the plaintiff, Bruce Kaster, has made improper statements to the media in the course of other trials against Cooper Tire. In response, the plaintiff notes that Mr. Kaster has not been interviewed by the media about this case, and that he does not expect to be. Nevertheless, Mr. Kaster, and all the attorneys in this case, are bound by the Kentucky Rules of Professional Conduct as it relates to extrajudicial statements. There is no need for an order from this Court requiring the attorneys to comply with these rules. Nor will the Court enter any broad gag order in this case restricting the parties or witnesses speech. Accordingly, Cooper Tire s motion [DE #198] is hereby DENIED. This August 8, 2011.
