FYI --

PASADENA, Calif. ? A federal appeals court today rejected Ira Isaacs' attempt to get his obscenity case thrown out.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said that Isaacs isn?t entitled to have his case dismissed on double jeopardy grounds.

Isaacs' case was put on hold last year after Judge Alex Kozinski recused himself after it was revealed that he used a website to distribute sexually explicit photos and videos.

Attorney Roger Jon Diamond, who argued the case at the 9th Circuit on Dec. 10, contended that Isaacs shouldn?t be retried because there was no manifest necessity for the declaration of the mistrial, which was declared without Isaacs' consent.

Diamond wasn?t immediately available to comment on today?s decision because he is out of the country.
