Jane Doe, 1 target of a grand jury investigation, appeals the district court’s denial of motions to quash subpoenas directed to three witnesses, who contend that the requested production would violate the psychotherapist-patient privilege, Doe’s right of privacy, and Doe’s right to be free from self-incrimination under the fifth amendment. We affirm.
