Glantz, Stanton A.

These documents are photocopies of documents allegedly stolen by a paralegal working for a firm hired by the Brown and Williamson Tobacco Company to index their records. Some were donated anonymously to Stanton Glantz, a professor at the University of California and an activist in the tobacco control movement. These materials have been the subject of a suit in San Francisco Superior Court in which Brown & Williamson sought to permanently remove the disputed material from the Library. The court denied the suit on May 25, 1995. On June 23, 1995, the Court of Appeal refused a temporary restraining order preventing release of the documents. On June 29, the California Supreme Court rejected the company's request to prohibit UCSF from releasing the documents.
