THE COURT: Good news. This employer has approved the request. And so what I suggest is I tell the juror with the court reporter just so they know, send them back to the jury room, bring the jury out, swear them in, and then send them back for lunch, and then I'll excuse the remaining jurors.

Okay?



: Yes, your Honor. Thank you.



MS. STERNHEIM: Thank you.

THE COURT: Thank you.

THE COURT: So I'm delighted that you'll be able to stay on the jury. Thank you very much. I just wanted to let you know I spoke to . She was terrific and ran all the traps and got formal approval. So you're set.

JUROR: I was going to ask the details, if you spoke to . She may have gone through everything.

THE COURT: She did. And the reason we were waiting is she had to run it through a number of people, including the CEO and the like, I understand. And they had to get formal approval, since it is a written policy, and you've been approved.

JUROR: That's good news. That's good news.

All right. Thank you.

THE COURT: All right.

We'll send you back and await further instruction.

JUROR: Fantastic.

(In open court)

THE COURT: Okay. Message delivered. And the juror was pleased, and so we have our 18 jurors.

What I'll do is while is gathering them to come in, I will thank the other jurors for their service, although they won't actually be let go until we swear the jury in. So I'm ready to talk to 506 and 110.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury panel, I want to thank you so much for your patience and your time. We could not have done this process without you. On behalf of myself, on behalf of the parties and on behalf of the Southern District of New York, I thank you for your service.

You will be excused by the jury department staff in just a few more minutes. I'll ask you to remain patiently seated until they give you further instruction. But this will be my opportunity to say thank you to you for your service. We couldn't do this process without you. Thank you.

(Pause)

THE COURT: Okay. Thank you for your patience.

We will bring -- let me just tell you the plan. We will bring in the jury, we will swear in the jury, and then I will excuse them for lunch.

Their lunch is here; correct?

So, counsel, I propose a 45-minute break for lunch, if that works for everybody.

: Yes. Thank you, your Honor.



MS. STERNHEIM: That's fine.

THE COURT: The staff has done some arranging of jurors in light of seating requirements and the like. We will provide a seating chart so that you know exactly -- both sides know exactly which juror is sitting in what seat. And I am ready to bring in the jury.

Counsel, I will provide the preliminary instructions as well after they're sworn and then excuse them for lunch.

Thank you.
