ORDER

This criminal matter is presently pending before United States District Judge R. Bryan Harwell. Due to pretrial publicity in the Florence Division concerning this case, the parties agree that the jury be drawn from the District,1 rather than limited to Area D (Florence Division). See [ECF No. 142].

THEREFORE, I find that in the interests of justice a district-wide jury venire shall be empaneled. The jury clerk is ordered to summon at random from jury divisions A, B, C, and D a jury venire of 2000 for jury selection purposes consistent with the Court's Order on jury selection procedures dated July 17, 2018. See [ECF No. 185].

IT IS SO ORDERED.
