OPINION & ORDER

COOPER TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY

DEFENDANT

**********

This matter is before the Court upon the motion of the defendant, Cooper Tire & Rubber
Company (“Cooper Tire”), to permit the use of a juror questionnaire [DE # 268]. The plaintiff, Kim
Logan, as Legal Guardian for James O. Gumm, Jr., has filed her response, concurring with Cooper
Tire’s motion on the need for a juror questionnaire, but disagreeing with several of the questions
contained on Cooper Tire’s proposed questionnaire.
The Court, having reviewed the motion and response, disagrees that a juror questionnaire is
necessary in this case. Voir dire conducted by the Court, as supplemented by the counsel for the

parties, will be sufficient to select a fair jury in this matter. Accordingly, Cooper Tire’s motion to
permit the use of a juror questionnaire is hereby DENIED.
This August 1, 2011.
