Link; brad@epllc.com; Stan Pottinger; Meredith Schultz; 'Brittany Henderson (brittany@epllc.com)'; Jeff Pagliuca Subject: RE: Protective Order - Ransome proposed paragraph 3   Dear Laura,   We have received your proposed paragraph 3 in the protective order, which would include the following:   Information designated “CONFIDENTIAL” shall be information that is confidential and implicates common law and statutory privacy interests, including information reflecting medical or psychological conditions, medical or psychological treatment, prescriptions for controlled substances, non-public personal financial information, sexual activity or sexual contact, education records, email addresses, telephone numbers, home addresses, social security numbers and similarly personally identifying information for parties and third-party witnesses, any information subject to N.Y. Civil Rights Law § 50 or 51, or any other information deemed private by a Court of competent jurisdiction to include the tort of publication of private facts.   We propose a more precise paragraph 3 for the protective order, as follows:   Information designated “CONFIDENTIAL” shall be information that is confidential whose public release would violate common law and statutory privacy interests, including information describing medical or psychological conditions, details of medical or psychological treatment, prescriptions for controlled substances, non-public personal financial information, the details of sexual activity or sexual contact, education records, email addresses, telephone numbers, home addresses, social security numbers and similar personal identifying information for parties and third-party witnesses, and copyrighted or trademarked materials.   We believe that your proposed protective order would sweep in a considerable amount of material that should not be made confidential.  For example, your protective order covers information “reflecting ... sexual activity or contact.”  Given that this case involves sexual trafficking, a great deal of material would be covered by this language.    Please let us know if our proposed alternative is acceptable to you.  If not, it seems we should present our varying formulations to the judge.    Paul Cassell for Sarah Ransome   Case 1:17-cv-00616-JGK-SN Document 171-3 Filed 11/16/18 Page 1 of 3 Paul G. Cassell Ronald N. Boyce Presidential Professor of Criminal Law and University Distinguished Professor of Law S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah 383 S. University St., Salt Lake City, UT 84112-0730 (801) 585-5202 (phone)  (801) 585-2750 (fax) cassellp@law.utah.edu You can access my publications on http://ssrn.com/author=30160        CONFIDENTIAL: This electronic message - along with any/all attachments - is confidential. This message is intended only for the use of the addressee. If you are not the intended recipient, you may not use, disseminate, distribute or copy this communication. If you have received this message in error, please immediately notify the sender by reply electronic mail and delete the original message.  Professor Cassell is admitted to the Utah State Bar, but not the bars of other states.  Any views he expresses in this email are his own.   From: Laura Menninger <lmenninger@hmflaw.com>  Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2018 8:43 AM To: 'Sigrid McCawley' <smccawley@bsfllp.com>; Scott J. Link <Scott@linkrocklaw.com>; brad@epllc.com; Paul Cassell <cassellp@law.utah.edu>; Stan Pottinger <Stan@epllc.com>; Meredith Schultz <mschultz@bsfllp.com>; 'Brittany Henderson (brittany@epllc.com)' <brittany@epllc.com>; Jeff Pagliuca <jpagliuca@hmflaw.com> Subject: RE: Protective Order   Hi Sigrid –   Attached please find a draft protective order.    Consistent with the judge’s comments on the record, I have removed the language from the preamble, proposed at paragraph 3 a list of categories of confidential information, adopted your version of paragraph 8, and tried to capture her ruling regarding paragraphs 12-13. I did add one other small change to paragraph 8 for your consideration, to address the issue of a non-represented person being able to designate their information confidential.    Thank you, Laura     Laura A.
