A federal judge ruled late Tuesday that the government can continue to gag an internet servicer provider who received a National Security Letter from the FBI -- five years ago.

Under the Patriot Act, the FBI can use such letters to demand personal records about customers from internet providers, financial institutions and credit card companies without a warrant, and then keep the companies from disclosing even that they'd received such a letter.

1. Let's see the ruling
Who are the plaintifs?

The ruling itself should be a matter of public record.

All you have to know is who sued, in order to know who got the letter.
