Appeals Court Turns Down EPIC’s Challenge to Cellphone Shutdown Secrecy

Posted on May 14, 2015 by pogowasright.org

From EPIC.org:

The Court of Appeals for the D.C .Circuit has denied EPIC’s petition for further review of EPIC v. DHS, 14-5013. The Court sided with the DHS earlier this year, ruling that the agency could withhold from the public its cellphone shutdown policy. EPIC then asked that the full Court review the earlier ruling, arguing that the three-judge panel misconstrued the relevant law. The case is now headed back to the district court to determine which portions of the secret document the DHS must release. EPIC brought the case after cellphone service in a BART station was shutdown in advance of a peaceful protest.
