ORDER RE: POSSIBLE VIDEO RECORDING OF HEARING
December 18, 2012
PONSOR, U.S.D.J.
The court has received a request from Tim McCarthy of
liptv.com to record the motion hearing in the above-entitled
case currently scheduled for January 7, 2013.

The District

of Massachusetts is participating in a pilot program
established by the Judicial Conference permitting, in
limited circumstances, cameras in federal courts.

Under

Judicial Conference guidelines, only court personnel may
record proceedings, all parties must consent to the
recording, and the presiding judge must consent to the
recording.

If either party, or the judge, declines to

consent, no recording will occur.
Counsel are hereby ordered to notify this court, no
later than December 21, 2012, as to whether their client
consents to the requested video recording.

It is So Ordered.
