To the JUROR:

The case for which you have been summoned for jury selection is a criminal case entitled United

States v. Jensen. The defendant, Ms. Stephanie Jensen, is the former Director of Human

Resources of Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. Ms. Jensen has been charged with

keeping false books and records and conspiracy to keep false books and records. Ms. Jensen

denies all of these charges and has pled not guilty to each and every allegation.

The purpose of this questionnaire is to provide information about your background and

experience to assist the Court and to save time in jury selection. This questionnaire is

confidential and will not be used for any purpose other than to assist the Court and the attorneys

with the jury selection process.

Please answer each question below as completely and accurately as you reasonably can. Your

complete written answers will save a great deal of time for the judge, for the lawyers, and for

you. If there is not sufficient space provided for you to complete your answers, please continue

of any page. Please write legibly and use a black pen.

You are expected to sign your questionnaire, and your answers will have the effect of a

statement given to the court under oath. We need your very best, honest effort to answer all of

the questions. The intention of the questionnaire is to encourage your full expression and candor.

Your full cooperation is of vital importance.

If there are any questions that you would feel more comfortable answering in private, simply

write “private” in the space provided for your answer. The follow-up questions on that topic will

be given out of the presence of the other prospective jurors.

Thank you in advance for your careful and honest response to the questionnaire.
