Background. A federal judge in Utah has canceled his order requiring a top Justice Department official to testify why it is taking so long for the department to review records connected to the death of a prison inmate. U.S. District Judge Bruce Jenkins had set a July 13 date for Noel Hillman, chief of the department's public integrity section, to come to his courtroom and explain, under oath, the delay in deciding which documents can be released under the Freedom of Information Act. On Friday, he rescinded the order, noting that the official has said his review is complete. However, the judge warned that the reprieve is temporary and said the government ultimately will have to produce the records.
