The order Friday from Circuit Judge Diane S. Goodstein says both sides

under the supervision of a trustee.

Attorney David Gantt represents the WH Group and its two principal

be ordered to return the equipment and data and stopped from making
any copies before turning it over.

Gantt has said previously that his clients bought computers, hard

personnel files and health records of employees, Gantt has said.
