Plaintiffs’ counsel informs the court that excerpts from video

obligation or prohibition. As such, it may be that the posting of

these videos is protected by the First Amendment. On the other

as a courtesy that both sides take steps to ensure that neither

these nor similar videos are reposted or otherwise made public

pending trial.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: June 10, 2010.
