2 THE COURT:

Back on the record in the Simpson matter. All parties are again present. The jury is not present. Counsel, anything else we need to take up before we invite the jurors to join us?

3 MR. GOLDBERG:

Well, there is the issue of the pheno test, your Honor, but I don't know if we will get to that point this evening.

4 THE COURT:

We have got about 18 minutes left. I have to break at ten minutes to.

How about at six o'clock?
