The court appreciates the work the parties put into the Amended Joint Proposed Voir Dire

20

questions and the court anticipates asking most, if not all, of the questions proposed. The court has

21

separated out those questions that are most likely to raise a valid excuse from jury service or a basis

22

for a cause challenge and put them in a written questionnaire. The jurors are being summoned for

23

10:00 a.m. on Monday, February 10 and will be given the questionnaire. After the questionnaires

24

are completed, copies will be made available to the parties for use during the selection process

25

commencing at 1:30 p.m. The written hardship claims and any answers which raise an obvious basis

26

for a cause challenge will be reviewed and in most cases ruled on based upon the answers given so

27

that most of the prospective jurors who are brought into the courtroom will be eligible to serve. A

28

copy of the written questionnaire is attached.
