ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS’ UNOPPOSED MOTION TO ALLOW THE USE OF
LAPTOP COMPUTERS IN THE COURTROOM DURING EVIDENTIARY HEARING
This cause is before me on Plaintiffs’ Unopposed Motion to Allow the Use of Laptop
Computers in the Courtroom During Evidentiary Hearing. (DE# 19.) Plaintiffs’ motion is
hereby GRANTED as follows:
On Friday, September 9, 2011, the following attorneys may bring their laptop
computers into the C. Clyde Atkins United States Courthouse for a 9:30 A.M. evidentiary
hearing on Plaintiffs’ Emergency Verified Motion for Preliminary Injunctive Relief (DE# 9):
Brett Alan Barfield, Michael E. Hantman, Michael E. Rothenberg, Michael R. Tolley, and
Mark Adams. 1 These attorneys may also exit and reenter the Courthouse with their laptops
computers if, for instance, the Court recesses for a lunch break. The permission granted in this
Order expires after the hearing is terminated and these attorneys exit the Courthouse with their
laptop computers.

1

These are the attorneys identified in the proposed order Plaintiffs filed with their motion.
(DE# 19-1, p. 2.)

These attorneys may also use their laptop computers during the evidentiary hearing
provided they first disable the laptop computer’s ability to produce sound and use the laptop
computers only in a manner consistent with the purposes of the hearing (e.g., to review pertinent
hearing exhibits, not to surf unrelated websites or to perform work on other, unrelated matters).
DONE and ORDERED, in Chambers, in Miami, Florida, this 8th day of September,
2011.

The Honorable Donald L. Graham
