EMA, et al., v. Henry, et al.
Western District of Oklahoma
United States District Court
October 2006
On October 11, 2006, Judge Robin Cauthron, District Court, Western District of Oklahoma, issued a preliminary injunction preventing the implementation of an Oklahoma statue to prohibit the sale of video games depicting "inappropriate" violence to minors. In the decision, the Court stated that plaintiffs presented strong arguments that the Act contains unconstitutional content-based restrictions and that its language is unconstitutionally vague.
The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) and Entertainment Merchants Association (EMA) are now waiting for the Court's ruling on the summary judgment, which asks for a permanent injunction to the Oklahoma law.
