Court allows news outlets access
to Microsoft case depositions

By CARA GARRETSON, IDG NEWS SERVICE 
(January 30, 2002) 

News organizations have the right to attend upcoming depositions in
the continuing antitrust battle between the nine holdout states and
Microsoft Corp., a U.S. District Court judge ruled. (An earlier
version of this story incorrectly said that the judge had denied media
access to the depositions.) 

The Associated Press, Cable News Network, Dow Jones & Co., The
Washington Post, the San Jose Mercury News and USA Today asked Judge
Colleen Kollar-Kotelly to deny a Microsoft motion that would remove
the obligation to allow public access to witness interviews, according
to court documents made public Tuesday.
