Except as the presiding judge permits under the authority of a United States statute, a
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure, a policy adopted by the Judicial Conference of the United States,
or an order of The Judicial Council of the Fifth Circuit, no person may photograph, electronically
record, televise, or broadcast a judicial proceeding. This rule shall not apply to ceremonial
proceedings or electronic recordings by an official court reporter or other authorized court
personnel.
