May 20, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 25 DISTRICT COURT UPDATE. ORDER this matter is before the Court on remand from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. The Washington Post filed a motion in this Court on 3/2/15 (ECF #649) requesting the Court to "release the juror names or numbers that correspond to the questionnaire responses, or alternatively identify the questionnaires that were completed by the jurors selected to serve at trial. The Court denied the Post's Motion (ECF #651), and the Post subsequently appealed the Court's March 9 Order to the Fourth Circuit. On 4/27/15, the Fourth Circuit issued its Order remanding the case to this Court, and holding that this Court must support its 3/9 Order "with particularized findings that the 'closure is essential to preserve high value and narrowly tailored to serve that interest." Upon due consideration, the Court GRANTS the Post's Motion, to the extent it requests the Court to identify the questionnaires that were completed by the jurors selected to serve at trial. SEE Exhibit A attached.. Signed by District Judge James R. Spencer on 5/6/15. (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit A, # 2 Exhibit A, # 3 Exhibit A). [15-1293] CP [Entered: 05/20/2015 10:26 AM]
