previously reported, Judge William H. Orrick of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California had ordered July 9 that tapes of the 10-year-old trial — which determined Prop 8 to be unconstitutional — be released August 12.
Earlier this year, some Prop 8 proponents asked Orrick to extend the 10-year seal, and a hearing on the matter was held in Orrick's virtual courtroom June 17.
