Summary
This document is page 7 of a court transcript from Case 1:20-cr-00330 (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell), filed on August 10, 2022. The text details a legal argument where the defense (Mr. Pagliuca) is barred by the Court from calling an attorney as a witness without prior briefing due to privilege concerns regarding 'Minor Victim 4'. The prosecution (Ms. Comey) then requests clarification on whether the jury will be instructed during preliminary instructions that witnesses will use pseudonyms, to which the Court agrees to address before opening statements.

4 MR. PAGLIUCA: Well, first, your Honor, I don't think
5 that it's appropriate for me to have to discuss defense
6 strategy in this context. However --
7 THE COURT: That's fine. There will be no -- without
8 briefing, you will not call an attorney for a witness, period.
9 I'm happy to see briefing, but until that happens, you won't.
10 MR. PAGLIUCA: That's fine, your Honor.
11 THE COURT: OK.
12 MS. COMEY: Thank you, your Honor.
13 We had one other question for your Honor, which is
14 whether the Court intends to, in its preliminary instruction,
15 inform the jury that certain witnesses will be testifying under
16 pseudonyms. We wanted to know that so that we understand how
17 to approach that issue in our opening statement.
18 THE COURT: I think we have a pending proposal, with
19 the two sides having slightly different views as to what
20 language to use for those instructions. I haven't dealt with
21 that yet, but I will. And then I guess the second question
22 you're asking is, will I include that in my preliminary
23 instructions as opposed to at the time the first witness is
24 called. It should come before opening, I presume, because
25 you'll refer to witnesses pursuant to pseudonyms during
2 attorney-client privilege and with Minor Victim 4's right to
3 representation of counsel.
