WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 -- Steptoe, a law firm, issued the following news release:

Steptoe Helps Secure Federal Court Injunction Blocking HUD Suspension of LAHSA and Protecting Critical Homelessness Funding for Los Angeles
(Los Angeles) - Steptoe LLP was part of the legal team that secured a preliminary injunction preventing the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from suspending the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), preserving critical homelessness funding and services across the Los Angeles region. Steptoe represented the Los Angeles Continuum of Care (LACoC) alongside Public Counsel and the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles. Court records identify Steptoe partner Robyn C. Crowther, associate Abigail Nicole Falk Orozco, and attorney Mary-Kate Planchet as counsel for the LA CoC intervenor in the case.
In LAHSA v. Trump et al., US District Judge David O. Carter ruled that HUD's abrupt suspension of LAHSA was likely unlawful under the Administrative Procedure Act, finding the agency's actions to be "arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law." The court concluded that HUD's actions threatened the Los Angeles region's ability to compete for federal homelessness funding and disrupted a framework that Congress established through the HEARTH Act to ensure local communities set homelessness response priorities.
The injunction restores LAHSA as the Collaborative Applicant for the Los Angeles Continuum of Care, requires HUD to execute pending FY 2025 grant agreements, and preserves the region's ability to pursue future federal homelessness funding opportunities. The ruling also protects the continued operation of key homelessness response infrastructure, including the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), Coordinated Entry System (CES), and Point-in-Time Count.

Spoiler Alert: How To Manage NDA Breaches In The Entertainment Industry
Nothing is more frustrating than when a member of a project leaks key details about an upcoming film, game release, album, talent decision, or other major production. And if those moves violate a non-disclosure agreement, they create an actionable situation for your legal team. What should you do when talent or employees violate an NDA and how can you mitigate the damage? This Insight will cover practical stepsfor entertainment employers to respond when an NDA is broken.
Setting the Stage
In general terms, an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) is a contract that prohibits a party from disclosing specific confidential information shared during a business or employment relationship.
Non-disclosure pacts in general industry typically seek to protect confidential information and trade secrets: operations, pricing, margins, customer relationships, or inventions. And just like any other company, entertainment employers also have confidential business information to protect. This may include release dates, marketing budgets, and which actors or musical artists are connected to which projects. That information is often top secret until it's ready to be released, because the timing of disclosure is part of the marketing strategy.
"What we focus on is protecting not just specific data, but the reputations and privacy of the talent and clients that entertainment companies represent, manage, or work with on projects," said FP's Bob Yonowitz, a partner in the Irvine office. "But, there is also business confidential information to consider, just like any other business."
But NDAs in the entertainment industry also cover certain information unique to the entertainment context. For example, they are often tailored to address privacy protections and intimate information that an assistant or other employees may learn.
And while NDAs place legal limits on what entertainment workers can share, they are not across-the-board gag orders. What information is protected typically varies by employee and their role in the production. For example, restrictions for talent or an actor may be different than the restrictions for their assistants, the latter of which may have access to sensitive information (like the talent's address or phone number).
The real challenge is controlling the release of that information and preventing leaks. The first step is identifying what information is actually protectable: artist-related information, internal business information, or both.
Key Components of a Strong NDA
Regardless of industry, there are some common traits shared by all strong NDAs.
* Clear definitions of what is confidential (and often what is not, like publicly available information). For example, talent's personal cell numbers, assistants, children's contacts, and similar information are confidential. Part of the drafting approach is to describe the realm and the need for confidentiality, then define categories of information that capture it.
* Setting permitted uses of the information.
* Establishing the duration of the confidentiality obligation.
* Providing remedies for breach, typically injunctive relief and/or damages if someone discloses improperly.

Practical Tips For Crafting an Entertainment Industry NDA
Putting together an NDA, especially involving talent, requires a careful balance. The key is to define very clearly what information is being protected and for how long, without disclosing the actual protected information in the agreement itself.
For example, the agreement may say not to disclose contact information, family information, activities, appointments, and similar information about company talent. Entertainment companies are entrusted with protecting the image, likeness, and activities of the talent they work with, and that information has tremendous value.
While it's important to be specific about what information is protected in the agreement, keep in mind that some states have also enacted laws restricting what can be included in NDAs, or require certain limitations. "A big mistake employers make is assuming one version works everywhere. It doesn't," said Chris Stief, Regional Managing Partner of the FP's Portland office and a partner in the Philadelphia office. "Some states require a durational limit on confidentiality provisions. Most states don't, but some do."
Some court decisions have invalidated agreements for being too restrictive in their state even if they would be enforceable elsewhere. In other states, taking a broader approach to how you describe confidential information would not necessarily be fatal for the NDA. If you've made a good-faith effort to describe the covered information, some courts will typically enforce it or narrow its application rather than throw it out altogether.
Limits and Required Carveouts
A key issue that frequently comes up with the enforcement of NDAs is whether exceptions for protected disclosures conflict with labor and anti-retaliation rights.
* An NDA cannot lawfully stop someone from reporting a crime, cooperating with law enforcement, making legally required disclosures, or giving evidence to a court.
* Moreover, overly broad confidentiality language can run afoul of federal labor law if it discourages staff from discussing the terms and conditions of their employment.
* Federal law also limits enforcement of pre-dispute NDAs and non-disparagement clauses tied to sexual assault or sexual harassment disputes.
* And federal agencies can impose hefty penalties on employers who fail to include certain whistleblower protection language in their agreements.
It's also important to review state law where you're operating. Some states, like California and New York, have enacted more restrictions narrowing the use of confidentiality and settlement terms in workplace harassment and discrimination matters.
How to Respond to a Breach
When an entertainment NDA is violated, the usual outcome is a civil breach-of-contract dispute that can lead to money damages, or court orders to stop the leak, among other consequences. Remedies depend on the sensitivity of the information and the timing of the breach.
Step 1: Studios, producers, labels, and talent teams generally start by sending a cease-and-desist or demand letter requiring the employee to stop sharing information, delete posts, and sometimes return materials. These steps are less expensive and disruptive than litigation.
Step 2: If the employee ignores the cease-and-desist letter or if the information is so sensitive that you need to move immediately, consider requesting a temporary restraining order. If you go that route, especially with private or talent-related information, also consider sealing the court record to prevent further leaks by the media. There's a balancing act between speed and privacy: how quickly do you need to enforce your rights, and how much do you want to expose in the public record? Otherwise, you end up making public the very information you were trying to keep secret.
Step 3: File a civil lawsuit for breach of contract seeking:
* Compensatory damages for proven losses tied to the leak (lost revenue, added security or reshoot costs, reputational harm).
* Liquidated damages if the NDA specifies a pre-set penalty for disclosure; many entertainment NDAs include these clauses.
* Injunctive relief (a court order) to stop further disclosure and, in some cases, to force removal of already-posted material.
* Attorneys' fees and costs where the NDA includes a fee-shifting clause, which is common in industry form agreements.
Keep in mind: Every matter involving NDAs is different. Before taking any of the suggested steps outlined in this Insight please consult your attorney.
Act Quickly
Normally, if someone has already disclosed the information publicly, you probably won't be able to get it back. Remedies for these breaches are often unsatisfying. If the information is personal and it spreads quickly online, it may be impossible to fully undo the harm.
The best you can often do is stop further disclosure. In these situations, involve crisis communications or strategic communications early to get ahead of the issue and manage the message.

FBI and NCAA Team Up Against Exploitation Targeting Student-Athletes: 5 Steps for Your School
With NIL and marketing deals becoming more common for student-athletes, the FBI and NCAA want schools to educate student-athletes on how to protect themselves from financial or sexual exploitation. In an August 10 joint public statement, both institutions warned about cyber-enabled schemes targeting student-athletes, particularly those whose public visibility has increased through athleticparticipation and the promotional agreements that may come along with that new celebrity status. The notice calls on schools to ensure students have FBI resources and to strengthen their reporting protocols and support programs. This Insight will cover everything you need to know about the announcement and how your school can respond effectively.
New Celebrity Status
Student-athletes are a growing target for scammers because their public profiles, online exposure, and potential revenues can create leverage for threats to disclose private images or information. As more athletes consider NIL or other deals, the FBI warns they face increased exposure to impersonation, credential-theft, extortion, or image-based abuse.
Do you have a plan if a student discloses that a private image or their financial information has been exploited? The joint FBI and NCAA notice specifically asks coaches, compliance staff, and athletic-department leadership to review resources and develop a plan to respond to these types of incidents. Athletic department staff may be the first trusted resource a student-athlete approaches after receiving a threatening communication.
Warning Signs + FBI Recommendations
The FBI notice provided several examples of schemes targeting student-athletes:
* Unsolicited text messages claiming that an account will be disabled unless the recipient provides a verification code
* Unsolicited emails reporting an alleged new account login and directing the recipient to a password-reset link
* Requests for a verification code, temporary password, PIN-reset code, payment, identifying information, or additional images
* Communications that threaten disclosure or distribution of private images unless the student complies with demands
Schools should consider setting a response plan for when an athlete reports suspected exploitation, potential extortion, or account compromise. That includes identifying the offices and staff responsible for intake, documentation, rapid-response, and support when these incidents occur.
The FBI advises student-athletes who are victims of exploitation to:
* Avoid clicking links or opening unknown files
* Stop communicating with the suspected offender
* Decline demands for payment, identity verification, or additional content
* Keep and do not delete messages, emails, screenshots, account details, and images as evidence
* Report the matter promptly
As students report such incidents to a trusted resource, schools should have in place a plan to determine quickly the appropriate legal, law enforcement, institutional, and other next steps.
The FBI notice cautions that paying an offender or otherwise complying with demands doesn't prevent distribution of exploitative content and frequently leads to further demands.
5 Practical Response Steps
While the notice doesn't require schools to adopt a specified formal policy, practical first steps include setting up a prevention training program or designating a school office to handle these reports. Educational institutions with athletic programs should consider taking the following five steps:
1. Make reporting resources available to students and staff in advance. Distribute the FBI/NCAA warning to student-athletes before the academic year, during team meetings, and as part of an NIL or social-media education program. The FBI stresses that athletic staff may be a student's first trusted point of contact, so providing resources before they are needed is a direct way to protect students.
2. Develop a coordinated response plan. Identify officials who should be involved in processing reports of exploitation. Consider including members of athletics, student affairs, campus police or security, Title IX personnel, and counseling services when developing your plan and for key roles within the response protocol. Set rules for preserving evidence while avoiding unnecessary circulation or storage of intimate images or private information.
3. Train coaches and athletic trainers, as well as compliance, residence-life, counseling, and campus safety staff on how to respond to these incidents. Ensure they are trained in the school's response plan and know how students should formally report exploitation.
4. Educate student-athletes on the response plan, as well as how to access confidential counseling, academic support, and reporting resources. As part of education programs, include examples of common schemes, as well as general account-security practices, including multifactor authentication and password-manager use.
5. Reach out to counsel. If you need assistance with setting up an exploitation response plan or program, contact a member of Fisher Phillips' Criminal Investigations and Criminal Investigations and White Collar Defense Team and Sports Industry Team.
