In Re Roche, 448 U.S. 1312 (1980)

Name: In Re Roche, 448 U.S. 1312 (1980) - Syllabus
Author: U.S. Supreme Court

No. A-66

Decided July 23, 1980
448 U.S. 1312

ON APPLICATION FOR STAY

Syllabus

An application to stay, pending a petition for certiorari, a Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Justice’s order adjudicating applicant television news reporter in civil contempt for refusal to disclose the identities of news sources in connection with disciplinary proceedings against a state judge, and the Supreme Judicial Court’s affirmance of such order, is granted. It appears reasonably probable that four Justices will vote to grant certiorari, that there is a fair prospect of reversal, and that, in considering the irreparable harm that would result to applicant if the stay is denied, the balance of equities favors a stay.
