9th Circuit Panel Rules in my case

From the [Huffington Post](https://www.huffingtonpost.com/stephen-kaus/huffpo-scoop-ninth-circ_b_29119.html): In an unpublished ruling issued Thursday, a panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal ruled against freelance video journalist Josh Wolf and stated that he must comply with a grand jury subpoena for his unpublished footage. Previous coverage here. Winning in the Ninth Circuit is very much the luck of the draw these days. Although Wolf drew a favorable three judge panel for his bail motion, that was the August motions panel. This merits ruling was made by the September motions panel which features three much more conservative judges. They deemed the case so easy that no oral argument was necessary. They also determined not to publish their opinion, which generally means that they do not deem it to be significant enough to disseminate outside the parties to the case. So our next step in the appeal process will be to appeal to the 9th circuit *en banc* which means that we would petition for the larger group of 9th circuit judges to hear the case. Hopefully the larger court will hear our case and rule in my favor. Our next appeal beyond that would be the Supreme Court. At this point in time, I am still out on bail. Stay tuned for more updates…
