March 19, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 25 ORDER: The Court has received a request from a news agency for remote access to the upcoming preliminary injunction hearing in this matter. Pursuant to the current Remote Public Access to Court Proceedings policy as promulgated by the Judicial Conference of the United States, a Judge may allow remote access in civil proceedings to any non-trial hearing in which a witness is not testifying. Exercising my discretion, I do GRANT such accessparticularly as this hearing is not being held in such a fashion that there is a physical courtroom to which a spectator could travel and attend other than Grand Junction and this matter is germane to the public interest in Denver (250 miles away). Should testimony or confidentiality be implicated, the Court will contemporaneously address such issues. So Ordered. By District Judge Gordon P. Gallagher on March 19, 2025. Text Only Entry. (gpglc3)
