Case1:22-cr-00338-PAIN Document 143 Filed 11/12/21 Page 27 of 27 Proceedings 246 alleged victims are being withheld from the public and the press to protect the privacy of those individuals. I have therefore instructed the parties to refer to those individuals by their first names only; however, those full names are known to the Government, the defendant, and to the Court. You may also have noticed that the witness was asking the Government whether she should say the last names of certain individuals. Going forward, the witnesses will receive a list of the individuals whose last names are to be protected to which they may refer while testifying. Anything else you want me to put in there? MS. PENZA: Not from the Government Your Honor. THE COURT: You object? MR. AGNIFILO: I do, Judge. THE COURT: Your objection is noted. Also, I'm going to direct that the parties shall not make any speaking objections. If the basis for an objection is not apparent, the parties may request a sidebar. MR. AGNIFILO: Very good. Thank you, Judge. THE COURT: Okay, what else? MS. PENZA: Nothing else from the Government, but we would just ask for five minutes to make sure that the list is correct for the current witness. THE COURT: All right, we'll take a five-minute break. Denise Parisi, RPR, CRR Official Court Reporter DOJ-OGR-00006359
