A brief scheduling exchange between Petrocelli and Judge Fujisaki about the timing of a morning recess, given three remaining deposition witnesses. The judge declined the recess request and told counsel to proceed. A short unreported bench conference followed at defense counsel Leonard's request.
# 1 MR. PETROCELLI: We have three other witnesses to do by deposition. Would this be a good time for the morning recess?
# 3 MR. PETROCELLI: The next one is the longest one; then we have two short ones.
# 4 THE COURT: How long is the long one?
# 5 MR. PETROCELLI: Probably half an hour.
# 6 THE COURT: Why don't you do it.
# 7 MR. PETROCELLI: Jim Merrill.
# 8 MR. LEONARD: Can we approach just briefly?
THE COURT REPORTER: With the reporter?
# 9 MR. LEONARD: No, I don't think we need the reporter. (A bench conference was held which was not reported.)
