Plaintiff Adil Hiramanek submitted an e-mail requesting written permission of the

15

Chief Judge waiving the prohibitions against photography and audio or video recording in

16

the common areas of the courthouse, as well as in the courtrooms, that are set forth in

17

General Order 58. Mr. Hiramanek seeks an exception to these prohibitions for his own

18

protection and security from court security personnel. As stated in General Order 58, the

19

purposes of the specific rules and prohibitions against photographing and recording any

20

court proceedings and any common areas of the courthouse are to promote security for

21

all persons who enter federal courthouses, to protect the integrity of judicial proceedings,

22

to facilitate legitimate use of electronic devices for communication or for the storage,

23

retrieval, or presentation of information, and to comply with the mandates of the Federal

24

Rules of Criminal Procedure and the policies of the Judicial Conference of the United

25

States. Finding no good cause to create an exception from the requirements of General

26

Order 58 for this particular litigant over all others who appear before the court, as well as

27

members of the public who enter the courthouse, the undersigned DENIES Mr.
