"I was hoping to be able to provide a copy of Dr. Rocchio's testimony to either Dr. Dietz or Dr. Loftus, because I anticipate there may be issues that come up that they need to address during their testimony. And so for that purpose I would ask for a limited exclusion from Rule 615 for those witnesses."

1 Protection Act and 615. Why don't you both look at it, confer,
2 see if you can come to agreement, and if not, put in a letter.
3 MS. COMEY: Thank you, your Honor.
4 THE COURT: Thank you.
5 MR. PAGLIUCA: Your Honor, one other issue on
6 sequestration. I was hoping to be able to provide a copy of
7 Dr. Rocchio's testimony to either Dr. Dietz or Dr. Loftus,
8 because I anticipate there may be issues that come up that they
9 need to address during their testimony. And so for that
10 purpose I would ask for a limited exclusion from Rule 615 for
11 those witnesses.
12 MR. ROHRBACH: That's fine with the government, your
13 Honor.
14 THE COURT: Thank you. This is why I asked. Make
15 sure we're on the same page.
16 Anything else in that regard?
17 MS. COMEY: Not from the government, your Honor.
18 THE COURT: When may I have an order-of-witness list?
19 MS. COMEY: We would propose by Saturday, your Honor?
20 THE COURT: OK. And, as I always do, I ask at the
21 final pretrial conference if any plea offers were communicated
22 to the defense.
23 MS. COMEY: None were communicated, your Honor.
24 THE COURT: And Ms. Sternheim, that's accurate; none
25 were communicated?
