1)Legal Update

As of today, November 14, 2006 Josh has been imprisoned for 84 days.
The prison is currently refusing to grant him interviews with the
media over the phone.

There are currently no motions pending because we are waiting to hear
back on a decision from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to grant an
en-banc hearing (a hearing before the full panel of judges on the
Ninth Circuit). We are expecting a decision in the next few days so
keep checking Josh's blog and wiki for updates.

"On Thursday, November 9th, Northern California Chapter of the Society
of Professional Journalists held their annual banquet. Of the many
honors that were bestowed on people, arguably the most prestigious,
Journalist of the Year, went to imprisoned video documentarian, Josh
Wolf, along with other grand jury subpoena resisters, San Francisco
Chronicle sports writers, Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada.

Wolf's mother, teacher Liz Wolf-Spada, accepted the award on behalf of
her son. Wolf, who had been imprisoned, released and then
re-imprisoned, has served a total of 82 days in a federal penitentiary
for refusing to turn over his unedited video footage of a July 2005
San Francisco protest. From: Indybay.org
