The case is currently on appeal before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Barnes is being represented by First Amendment attorney Robert Corn-Revere and the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. Barnes has appeared on Fox News Special Report with Bret Baier and appeared Fox Business Network's Stossel on November 10, 2010.
