A formal letter from David McCraw, General Counsel for The New York Times, to Judge Kenneth Karas arguing for the unsealing of judicial records in United States v. Tartaglione. The records concern Nicholas Tartaglione's request to be transferred from the MCC due to threats from guards, allegedly stemming from his witnessing of his former cellmate Jeffrey Epstein's attempted suicide. The NYT argues that public interest and First Amendment rights outweigh the Government's desire to keep the Bureau of Prisons' internal deliberations secret.
