FREE SPEECH COALITION releases new statement about 2257

[Bill]

This is the critical paragraph IMO:

“Judge Miller has not amended or vacated the preliminary injunction entered in December, 2005. As to secondary producers and all other matters addressed, it remains in full force and effect unless and until he does so or until he enters a final order in the case. That is not likely to happen soon. In the meantime, if the government moves to vacate a portion of that injunction, FSC is prepared to move that it be expanded.” Lee said. “We should have a better idea about the timing and direction of the 2257 litigation after the April 25 status hearing.”

The whole statement:

Free Speech Takes Next Step in the 2257 Case

April 13, 2007 - On Friday, April 13, 2007, the Free Speech Coalition filed a motion with Colorado Federal District Court Judge Walker Miller seeking clarification and modification of his recent order. “This filing is in response to Judge Miller’s interim decision issued March 30, 2007,” explained Reed Lee, FSC Board member and President of the First Amendment Lawyers Association.

Additionally, in response to a joint request by FSC and the Government, Judge Miller has agreed to hold a status conference to consider scheduling further proceedings in the case. Further litigation will take account of the changes which Congress made to the statutory record keeping scheme last July. The status conference is scheduled to take place Wednesday, April 25, 2007.

“Judge Miller has not amended or vacated the preliminary injunction entered in December, 2005.

In the meantime, if the government moves to vacate a portion of that injunction, FSC is prepared to move that it be expanded.” Lee said. “We should have a better idea about the timing and direction of the 2257 litigation after the April 25 status hearing.”

“FSC will continue to provide regular updates on the status of 2257 as the case unfolds through our weekly XPRESS newsletter, e-mail alerts, and posting on our websites,” said Diane Duke, FSC Executive Director. “We are committed to providing accurate, up-to-date information to our members and the industry.”
