1Opinion of the Court
AMENDED ORDER ON PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION 1
JOHN A. WOODCOCK, JR., District Judge.
Seeking to cure some ills in the healthcare system, the Maine Legislature enacted a law that allows Maine prescribers to shield themselves and prevent others from being influenced by their prescribing history. In doing so, the Law restricts freedom of commercial speech. Since certain provisions violate the protections of the First Amendment, this Court grants, in part, a motion for preliminary injunction and enjoins the enforcement of portions of the Maine law.
