Defendant.
The general practice of a condensed, partial-day jury trial schedule is authorized by General
Order 22-012. That General Order outlines the advantages of the trial schedule in use in this court
for decades.
The requirements of this case require a modified, condensed trial-day schedule from
10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with condensed trial breaks. The trial day will include a forty-five-
minute break for lunch and one twenty-minute break during the afternoon. All breaks will be
taken in the jury room.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The jury will be PARTIALLY SEQUESTERED and will remain together in the
courthouse during the lunch break and other breaks to facilitate the condensed trial
schedule.
2. Lunch for the jurors will be obtained by court personnel and delivered to the jury room.
3. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to expend funds pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1871(e)
to provide for lunches to jurors and consistent with the guidelines of the Clerk of Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
