U.S. District Judge Timothy L. Brooks previously ordered that no phones, laptops or recording devices will be allowed in the courtroom.
“Members of the public and the media are prohibited from entering the courthouse with cellular phones, recording devices or any other type of electronic device, such as laptop computers or tablets,” the order stated.
