PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A federal judge has ordered an Oregon newspaper not to publish documents that it obtained regarding a sex discrimination lawsuit against sports behemoth Nike.
When the news outlet declined, the attorney filed a court motion requesting they be returned.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Jolie Russo approved the motion on Friday and ordered the news outlet to return the documents.
Russo said the documents fall under the case’s protective order, which withholds some content from public view.
The news outlet said it was working on a separate article based on independent reporting when it received the documents.
