A motion filed in the U.S. District Court of Colorado late Friday has extended the original stipulated agreement between the parties for a temporary restraining order (TRO) in Free Speech Coalition et al v. Alberto Gonzales. The extension is for another month.
It will terminate Oct. 31, or when the Court rules on plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary injunction, whichever occurs first. During that time period, the Justice Department is restrained from inspecting or enforcing Title 18 U.S.C. § 2257 against plaintiffs in the case. Included under the TRO are all members of the Free Speech Coalition, the trade organization representing the adult entertainment industry.
Terms of the original stipulation are maintained intact, and it is still the expectation of the attorneys for the Free Speech Coalition that a decision by U.S District Court Judge Walker D. Miller on the plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction will be rendered soon.
