WASHINGTON (CNN) — A judge issued a restraining order against former Army anthrax researcher Bruce Ivins on July 24, five days before he committed suicide, according to officials, after learning charges were pending against him in the 2001 anthrax attacks, according to court documents.

A woman sought the order against “Dr. Bruce Edward Ivins,” whom she accused of making threats of violence, harassment and stalking in the previous 30 days. Frederick County District Judge W. Milnor Roberts issued the order. Ivins died Tuesday.

In the order, Ivins is told not to contact the woman — whom CNN is not identifying — by telephone or other means, and to stay away from her place of employment.
A hearing in the case had been scheduled for Thursday.
