MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Doe v. Dept. of Public Safety, 271 F.3d 38 (2nd Cir. 2000):

On April 18, 2001, the plaintiff filed motions for certification of the due process claim class, for a declaratory judgment, and either for preliminary and permanent injunctive relief on behalf of the class or, in the alternative, for a preliminary injunction in favor of himself. The court issued a permanent injunction on May 17, 2001, prohibiting the defendants from "disclosing or disseminating to the public, either in printed or electronic form (a) the Registry or (b) Registry information concerning a member of the due process class if the information identifies the class member as being included in the Registry" and from "identifying any member of the due process class as being included in the Registry." Doe v. Lee, No. 3:99-314 (D. Conn. May 17, 2001) (order granting permanent injunction). The injunction is limited to public disclosure of the sexual offender registry; it does not prevent law enforcement agencies or officers from obtaining access to the registry
