How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that “gag orders” issued under Section 2705(b) and 18 U.S.C. § 3123(d)(2) constitute prior restraints and content-based restrictions
- asserting that 180-day period for pen/trap sealing and nondisclosure orders is “short enough to respect the fundamental values at stake, and long enough not to cause an undue burden”
- “The sealing of judicial records imposes a limit on public access rather than a direct restriction on speech”
