Lindsay Lohan Says No To Cameras (Of The Courtroom Variety)

An attorney for Lindsay Lohan has filed papers in court, seeking to prevent upcoming deposition testimony by the actress from being recorded on videotape or any information obtained in pre-trial discovery interviews from being released to the public.

Raymundo Ortega is currently suing Lohan over a car crash in 2005. As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Ortega, who is suing the actress for $200,000, claimed Lohan was intoxicated when she crashed into his vehicle two years ago. Lohan has denied his claims and filed a counter suit for $75,000 against Ortega.

In papers filed last week on behalf of the actress, Lohan’s lawyers have asked that she not be videotaped during the deposition in the case. They ask that if she does have to be videotaped, that the videotape “be sealed.”

Lohan’s lawyer in the case, Mark M. Williams, in court papers obtained by Access Hollywood,claimed that Ortega’s side is “making serious and sensational allegations with regard to Ms. Lohan’s activities on the date of the accident in this matter.”

As a result, Williams claims, “there is a real demonstrable danger” that responses by Lohan and other parties involved in the case (restaurant The Ivy was also named in Ortega’s lawsuit) “will find their way into the press and onto the internet prior to the trial of this matter.”

Williams is asking the judge to issue an order also barring all parties in the case from sharing any information with “third persons and the press.”

According to E! Online, Superior Court Judge Michael L. Stern did not immediately rule on the matter. He will consider the motion at a hearing on November 28.
