Washington State Supreme Court rules in Morgan v. City of Federal Way
Approximately 48 hours after oral argument, a unanimous Washington State Supreme Court issued an order in Morgan v. City of Federal Way that authorized the City of Federal Way to release the "Stephson Report." An opinion will follow in the next few months. (The order was slightly revised on Friday -- here is the final amended order.) This is the relief sought by the City and the Tacoma News Tribune.
Here is an analysis of the order from the Supreme Court of Washington Blog by EFF.
Here are posts on the ruling at the Bellingham Herald, Washington Policy Blog, the Og-Blog and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press blog.
