15 discussing girls which were under the age of
16 18, minors at the time of the incidents
17 involved in this case, we're going to be using
18 their names as previously agreed to in all the
19 other depositions in the case pursuant to court
20 order.
21 The names will be used in the
22 deposition, but they will not be used in
23 the official transcript. There will be a
