According to Michael Gross, local counsel for the Free Speech Coalition in its lawsuit against the federal government regarding the recordkeeping and labeling law, 18 U.S.C. ยง2257, the date of the hearing on FSC's motion for a preliminary injunction to prevent the new regulations from going into effect for its members and the other plaintiffs has been rescheduled to August 1-2.
The hearing had previously been scheduled for August 8-9.
This means that the agreement which the plaintiffs had reached with the U.S. Department of Justice, that the Justice Department would not initiate inspections or prosecutions of FSC members for one month after the preliminary injunction hearing, would now expire on September 1, 2005, unless Judge Walker D. Miller extends the prohibition for a longer period at the August 1-2 hearing.
