If this sounds familiar , that ’s because there is already a court ordering covering the exact same case , which was pass down before this hebdomad . Tim Cook publically challengedthe rescript , which has galvanized a discussion on security and tech companies ’ cooperation with legal philosophy enforcement .

Apple’slegal reply to the initial court orderis due February 26 , and the administration is due to respond March 5 — after which Apple will have up until March 15 to answer with a brief .

The DOJ also stress that it did n’t necessarily need to file a 2d parliamentary procedure :
