Re: Universal City Studios v. Reimerdes 00 Civ. 0277 (LAK)(RLE)

Dear Judge Kaplan:

By letter of May 2, 2000 we expressed our objection to the request of the New York Observer for leave to attend depositions in this action. Believing that Defendants now intend to publish over the Internet complete deposition transcripts of Plaintiff's witnesses (as well as complete video tapes), we called Defendants' counsel asking for an agreement that the transcripts and video tapes not be disclosed to persons not directly involved in this litigation. Defendants' counsel refused to commit to refrain hm publishing the transcripts, however. We respectfully request that the Court enter a protective order to prevent Defendants from posting either the transcripts themselves or video recordings or other information from depositions in this case on the Internet.
