Opinion
Case No. 00-80541
10-31-2012
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. YUK RUNG TSANG, Defendant.
HON. GEORGE CARAM STEEH
ORDER OF CLARIFICATION
Defendant Yuk Rung Tsang has requested that the court clarify a protective order it issued in July of 2007. That order prohibited contact between defendants (and "their associates, friends, and family members") and jurors involved in the matter of United States v. Yuk Rung Tsang et al. (00-80541-Hon. George Caram Steeh) without prior written approval of the court. Tsang now asks if that order applies to "attorneys and/or officers of the court."
While the order does not specifically address such individuals, the court advises that attorneys and officers of the court shall follow any and all applicable laws, court orders, and ethical standards in engaging in any post-trial contact with jurors.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
