Case No. 1:13-cv-202
Judge Timothy S. Black
ORDER
This Court has found that continued extrajudicial statements about this case are
reasonably likely to prejudice the proceedings and inhibit the right of the parties to a fair
and impartial jury, and that this Order is necessary and proper for the purposes of
governing, controlling and regulating the conduct of the persons participating in this case.
Therefore, the Court hereby ORDERS:
1. All parties to this case, their counsel, employees, agents, and witnesses are hereby
prohibited from discussing the case and its merits with the general public through
written or electronic media, the internet, including social media, blogs, and
similar media formats in any form;
2. All parties to this case, their counsel, employees, agents, and witnesses are
forbidden to participate in interviews with the media and from making statements
publically or for publicity;
3. All lawyers participating in this case, their office associates, staff members and
employees or agents under their control and supervision are forbidden to take part
in interviews for publicity and from making any extrajudicial statements about
this case, provided, however, that nonpublic extrajudicial communications
necessary to represent clients or prepare for trial are permitted;
4. This Order is not intended to preclude any witness from discussing any matter in
connection with this case with any attorney representing any party to this case, or
any representative of such attorney;
5. This Order is not intended to preclude any party from complying with its
responsibilities and obligations under the Securities and Exchange Commission
regulations regarding corporate disclosure requirements related to ongoing
litigation;
6. This Order shall remain in full force and effect until this case has been disposed
of, or until further order of the Court;
7. Violation of this order may be punished as contempt of court; and
8. Counsel for the parties are hereby directed to notify their clients,
employees, agents and witnesses of the requirements of this Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Date: 10/1/13
