PHILIP M. PRO, District Judge.
The Court has reviewed the proposed juror questionnaire submitted jointly by the parties, and discussed at the hearing conducted July 7, 2014 (Doc. #287). The Court has made revisions to the questionnaire it deems appropriate, and the approved juror questionnaire is attached to this Order. The attached questionnaire will be completed by a sufficient number of prospective jurors summonsed by the Court's jury administrator, and one copy per party of the completed questionnaires will be made available to counsel not later than 11:00 a.m. on Friday, August 15, 2014. This will enable counsel to review the prospective juror responses and discuss them with co-counsel and opposing counsel to assist them in reaching agreement as to whether particular jurors should be excused, or if they cannot so agree, to formulate their objections to any particular prospective juror. Counsel are reminded that no contact shall be made, directly or indirectly, with any prospective juror on behalf of any party to this case prior to jury selection on August 19, 2014.
The Court will convene with counsel for a further pre-trial conference on Monday, August 18, 2014, at 8:30 a.m., in Courtroom 7C, at which the Court will consider counsel's proposals, jointly or individually, as to which prospective jurors should be excused based upon their responses on the juror questionnaires. At this hearing, counsel shall also submit to the Court such further voir dire questions which counsel thinks should be propounded to any or all prospective jurors at jury selection the following day. Prospective jurors will not be present for this hearing on August 18. However, those prospective jurors who are not excused will be present for jury selection on Tuesday morning, August 19, at 8:30 a.m., following which trial will proceed before the jury selected.
Counsel are further advised that all trial proceedings in this case will occur in Courtroom 7C.
