Limiting Instruction\nThe Government requests that the Court give the jury an instruction that is similar to the instruction Judge Garaufis gave the jury in United States v. Raniere, 18 Cr. 204 (E.D.N.Y.). In that case, Judge Garaufis instructed the jury:\nYou may have noticed during yesterday's testimony that the witness used first names of certain individuals. That is because the names of certain 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.\nAn excerpt of the relevant transcript is enclosed as Exhibit A. Here, the Government proposes that the Court instruct the jury:\nAt this trial, certain witnesses will be testifying under their first name only. Other witnesses will be testifying under pseudonyms - that is, under different names. That is because the names of certain alleged victims and related witnesses 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, or in some instances, by using a pseudonym. However, the full names of the witnesses are known to the Government, the defendant, and to the Court.\nThe Government respectfully submits that the proposed instruction addresses any potential\nDOJ-OGR-00006335",
