The Court authorizes expert witnesses George Hite, James Williams, and Robert McGowan to bring a cell phone, laptop computer, or personal digital assistant into the Richard Sheppard Arnold United States Courthouse in Little Rock on 4 through 8 April 2016 for a Trial in this case.
The following rules apply to this access:

• Wireless internet components of all electronic devices must be deactivated when in the courtroom.
• Only counsel, and support staff at counsel table, may use laptops in the courtroom.
• Before persons with electronic devices are granted entry into the courthouse, all devices must be examined by the United States Marshals Service or Court Security Personnel. This examination includes, but is not limited to, placing the device through the electronic screening machines and requiring the person possessing the device to turn the power to the device off and on.
• The United States Marshals Service may further restrict electronic devices from entering the building if a threat so requires.
• When talking on a phone (or with someone in person) in a corridor, all courthouse visitors should be as quiet as possible.
