    Just for the record, here's Judge Brinkema's order.  This has been
posted before, but as part of a larger document.


   IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
   Alexandria Division
   RELIGIOUS TECHNOLOGY CENTER
   Plaintiff,
   V. Civil Action No.95-1107-A
   ARNALDO PAGLIARINA LERMA,
   DIGITAL GATEWAY SYSTEMS,
   THE WASHINGTON POST,
   MARC FISHER, and
   RICHARD LEIBY,
   Defendants.

   O R D E R

   For the reasons stated in open Court, to be further developed
   in a written opinion to be issued,
   Plaintiff Religious Technology Center (IIRTCII) I s Motion for
   Reconsideration and Rehearing and
   Motion for a Preliminary Injunction Against Defendant Lerma
   are DENIED.
   Defendant Lermals Motion to Vacate the Writ of Seizure and
   order for Impoundment is GRANTED and it is hereby
   ORDERED that RTC shall immediately return and restore to
   Defendant Lerma all seized materials in their exact original
   condition. This includes both Lerma's hard drives and all floppy
   discs; and it is further
   ORDERED that Defendant Lerma shall maintain the status quo as
   to possession of all the allegedly copyrighted materials at issue
   in this case and is restricted to employing them only in a fair use
   capacity. Lerma and his counsel are specifically prohibited from
   making any additional copies of the materials or transferring them
   in any manner or publicizing them other than in the context of fair use.
   This action moots the issue of increased bond relating to the
   seizure, so Defendant Lermals Motion to Increase Bond is DENIED.
   Plaintiff RTC's Motions for Provisional Stays Pending Appeal
   to the Fourth Circuit are DENIED.
   The Clerk is directed to forward copies of this order to
   counsel of record.
   Entered this 15th day of September, 1995.
   
   United States District Judge
   Alexandria, Virginia
