1 I think given the protections that the government has
2 sought for their witnesses and that they've received for their
3 witnesses, we all know that this case has gotten a lot of
4 attention and that people who are testifying here might get a
5 lot of unwanted attention, especially if they are testifying on
6 behalf of Ms. Maxwell. And they would like to be able to do
7 this, at least some of them, with some sort of anonymous
8 protection.
9 And, your Honor, there's, I think, one in particular

11 THE COURT: Here's what I want to say: You should
12 confer. Identify specifically who you're talking about and the
13 asserted reasons. You'll let me know if you come to agreement
14 or disagree and, in either case, you'll put -- certainly if you
15 disagree, you'll put forward your disagreement. To the extent
16 you agree, you'll put forward the rationale and authoritative

22 what the issues are, but we'd be happy to confer with defense
23 about that and submit briefing on it during the break over the
24 next few days. I think the amount of time we'll need to
25 examine and brief the issue depends on how many folks we're
