E.D. Okla. LCvR 39.3
Use of Electronic Communication Devices, Photographs or Recording
Devices.
The taking of photographs and operation of recording devices and radio or television
broadcasting in the courthouse during the progress of, or in connection with judicial
proceedings, including proceedings before a Magistrate Judge, whether or not court is actually
in session, are prohibited unless prior leave is granted by the Court.
The Court prohibits use of cellular telephones, pagers, or other electronic communication
devices in the courtroom. A Judge may, however, permit (1) the use of electronic or
photographic means for the presentation of evidence or the perpetuation of a record; (2) the
broadcasting, televising, recording, or photographing of investitive, ceremonial, or naturalization
proceedings; and (3) the use of electronic communication devices by attorneys as authorized by
General Order No. 13-02.
As used in this Rule, the term “courthouse” means anyplace within the Ed Edmondson
Federal Building in Muskogee, Oklahoma, or any other place in this district where federal
proceedings are being conducted.
