2. There will be no hearing on disputed voir dire

questions. In accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

47(a), the Court will conduct the examination of prospective

jurors. The Court will permit each side a maximum of fifteen

(15) minutes per side for follow up questions to the prospective

jurors after the Court’s examination. 

3. There will be no hearing on disputed jury instructions. 

The Court finds that such a hearing is premature prior to the

presentation of evidence.

In addition, the Court is in receipt of a written

communication for David Robertson, Esquire, with additional

questions regarding trial procedures. The responses to those

questions are as follows: 

A. The presentation of evidence and all argument will

conclude not later than April 28, 2006. No extensions will be

granted. 

B. The twelve (12) court day estimate for the trial is set. 

There should be no expectation on the part of counsel to proceed

on the non-trial days of Monday and Tuesday. The Court has

matters scheduled for those days. 

C. The issue of time for each side to present evidence will

be determined by the Court at the March 20, 2006 hearing. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATE: February 23, 2006
