     Last week, Eric VanDussen was denied access to videotape court proceedings in the upcoming case of People v Anderson.  The Michigan Supreme Court reviewed the denial, remanded the issue, and required an explanation of why the "fair administration of justice" excluded Mr. VanDussen.  In a brief response, the Court of Appeals explained that because Mr. VanDussen supplemented his initial request with information showing that he is engaged in news gathering, he fits into the "media" category as defined by Administrative Order 1989-1 and will be able to film the proceedings.
