UPMC can copy ex-Pittsburgh mayor's computer


PITTSBURGH (AP) — The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center can have a copy of the contents of the former mayor’s computer in case it contains information relevant to a civil rights lawsuit the hospital network has pending against the city, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

The vendor hired to make the copy must abide by a confidentiality agreement and produce copies of its findings — in sealed, tamper-proof envelopes — to attorneys for the city and UPMC, according to the ruling first reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti also decreed those attorneys won’t be allowed to open the envelopes unless she approves it.
