`
`The Court has received an unopposed motion for trial access filed by the Reporters
`Committee for Freedom of the Press and Eighteen (18) Media Organizations (collectively,
`“Movants”). (Dkt. No. 457.) The Court is in the process of conferring with court staff to
`determine the feasibility of Movants’ requests for certain public access to the civil bench trial in
`this action given the current constraints necessitated by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
`At this time, the Court can only guarantee that public access will include audio which will be
`provided by telephone line accessing the Court over its Zoom platform. The Court will fully
`address Movants’ motion, along with the related administrative motion for access filed by the
`class plaintiffs in the related cases (Dkt. No. 439), at the pretrial conference to be held next week
`on Wednesday, April 21, 2021.
