 A judge has dismissed an injunction Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers filed against a local political reporter who was attempting to ask her questions about her residences.

Sen. Rogers filed for the restraining order in late April after Arizona Capitol Times reporter Camryn Sanchez visited two of Rogers’ Valley-area homes. Sanchez had been at the homes gathering facts for a story relating to the Rogers’ residency in the 7th legislative district which she represents, the Arizona Republic previously reported. 

The restraining order sparked complaints from several news media organizations and local reporters, claiming that such an order violates First Amendment rights and damages press freedoms.

Flagstaff Justice of the Peace Howard Grodman agreed that the investigative reporting Sanchez was attempting to conduct serves a “legitimate purpose” and is protected by the First Amendment.
