 In 2005 , Sotomayor wrote the opinion for United States v. Quattrone . Frank Quattrone had been on trial on charges of obstructing investigations related to technology IPOs . Some members of the media had wanted to publish the names of the jurors deciding Quattrone 's case , and a district court had issued an order to forbid the publication of the juror 's names . In United States v. Quattrone , Sotomayor wrote the opinion for the Second Circuit panel striking down this order on First Amendment grounds , stating that the media should be free to publish the names of the jurors . The first trial ended in a deadlocked jury and a mistrial , and the district court ordered the media not to publish the names of jurors , even though those names had been disclosed in open court . Sotomayor held that although it was important to protect the fairness of the retrial , the district court 's order was an unconstitutional prior restraint on free speech and violated the right of the press " to report freely on events that transpire in an open courtroom " .
