(In open court) 
THE COURT: All right. So the first thing that I 
think we should address, sounds like it might be a brief 
conversation, is the Curcio issue I had alerted the government 
that there is -- a Curcio issue has arisen. I had appointed 
Ms. Sternheim to be Curcio counsel. She's here. 
MS. STERNHEIM: Yes. 
THE COURT: But my understanding -- Ms. Sternheim, 
you'll let me know if I'm wrong about this -- that we're not 
yet ready to address all the issues. I know you've been 
working diligently on it, but we're not quite done; is that 
right? 
MS. STERNHEIM: That is correct, Judge. And I can 
contact the parties and your Honor as to a schedule if that is 
helpful, but I do not have that in place. 
THE COURT: Okay. That's fine. That sounds like a 
good suggestion, and we can go from there. So I'll thank you 
again for taking on this assignment. I thank you for being 
here today and for the update. 
The next issue, I think it makes sense to address, is 
this question of sealing the correspondence with regard to 
prison conditions, prison designation and then I think we have 
to resolve the issue of Mr. Tartaglione's housing. So I've 
read all the letters. 
I don't know, Ms. 
if you want to add anything.

MS. 
No, your Honor. I have nothing to add. 
We'll rest on our papers. 
THE COURT: Okay. 
And I take it that counsel for Mr. Tartaglione remain 
agnostic on this issue; is that right? 
MR. BARKET: Yes. 
THE COURT: Okay. All right. So what we're talking 
about here is the government's request to seal letters that 
have been docketed. There have been redacted versions filed, 
but we're talking about Docket Numbers 150 and 153. 
And the background of this is that back on 
August 21st there was a conference where we discussed, among 
other things, issues related to…
