Obsidian Finance Group, LLC v. Cox Documents

Compiled by Eugene Volokh, UCLA School of Law
  1. Motion for Stay and Temporary Restraining Order. You can skip this is if you're reading the memorandum.
  2. Memorandum in Support of the Motion for Stay and Temporary Restraining Order.
  3. Plaintiffs' Opposition.
  4. Reply in Support of the Motion for Stay and Temporary Restraining order.
  5. Briefing in the motion for new trial, filed early last year. This is not really relevant to the moot court on the stay and TRO, but you might look at it if you want to understand the substantive First Amendment issues that this case involves.
  6. Opinion denying our motion for new trial. This is the opinion from which we appealed to the Ninth Circuit. Briefing on that is in progress. The motion for stay and temporary restraining order is aimed at defeating plaintiffs' attempt to short-circuit that appeal.
  7. The original district court opinion that led me to get involved in the case.
