DENVER (AP)- A New York reporter wants to delay a Colorado court hearing, where she's been ordered to testify about her confidential sources for a story on the Aurora theater shooting suspect.

A lawyer for Jana Winter, of FOX News, asked a Colorado judge to delay the April 1 hearing, while Winter asks a New York state court to overturn the order for her to appear.

The request was made public Tuesday. The judge hasn't said when he'll rule.

Winter reported that James Holmes sent a psychiatrist a notebook foreshadowing the July 20 attack.

She quoted unnamed officials.

Holmes' lawyers say the leak violated a gag order and they want to know who was responsible.

Winter's lawyer says New York law allows her to keep her sources confidential.
