A federal judge on Friday ordered The Oregonian not to publish information from documents it obtained last week from an attorney in a sexual discrimination case against Nike, reports Matthew Kish of The Oregonian.
Kish reports, “The attorney, Laura Salerno Owens, who represents the plaintiffs in the case, sent a file of documents to a news reporter on Jan. 19. She subsequently asked The Oregonian/OregonLive to return them and the news organization declined.
“She filed a sealed motion late Thursday with the court, asking in the title of the motion that ‘inadvertently disclosed’ documents be returned. The Oregonian/OregonLive was not provided a copy of the motion.
“U.S. Magistrate Judge Jolie A. Russo’s Friday order said The Oregonian/OregonLive must return the documents, ‘agree not to disseminate that information in any way; and to destroy any copies in its possession.’
“The Oregonian/OregonLive plans to immediately appeal the order.”
