The trial for Case No. 2:23-cr-20191-MSN is scheduled to begin on September 9, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. CDT before the Honorable Mark S. Norris.
For detailed guidance on photographing, broadcasting, and electronic devices, please refer to the ORDER REGARDING MEDIA AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES and Local Rule 83.2.
Designated areas for media and their cameras will be located in the grassy sections on either side of the Front Street entrance to the Odell Horton Federal Building.
Valid identification must be presented to enter the Courthouse. Media members wishing to bring electronic devices into the building are required to have media credentials, which must be visible at all times. Upon entering the building, media members should report to Room 375 on the third floor to sign in. Room 375 will serve as the overflow room and will have a live stream of the courtroom proceedings. Members of the media are permitted to use their electronic devices in the overflow room for note-taking purposes only, provided that such use does not involve recording, photographing, or broadcasting of any kind. Additionally, the Court has designated a media room on the basement level of the Courthouse where members of the media may otherwise use their electronic devices. For further inquiries or requests, the Clerk’s Office has established a dedicated email address for media inquiries: mediainformation@tnwd.uscourts.gov.
Inside the courtroom, eight seats will be reserved for media on a first come, first serve basis, determined by the sign-in sheet in Room 375. Open seating will otherwise be available to the general public and media, but space will be necessarily limited due to the seating needs of the litigants and other visitors.
