The court recesses Rosa Lopez's conditional examination until the following morning at 8:45. All parties agreed to the continuance, and Jones reported that Lopez was agreeable to returning, and Lopez acknowledged understanding the court’s return order. Her parting remark — 'WITH PLEASURE' — was the only notable moment in an otherwise administrative proceeding.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, COUNSEL. ALL RIGHT. AS FAR AS MISS ROSA LOPEZ, SHE IS AGAIN PRESENT BEFORE THE COURT. AND COUNSEL, WHAT IS YOUR PLEASURE AS FAR AS CONCLUDING THE CONDITIONAL EXAMINATION? MISS CLARK?

WELL, YOUR HONOR, I UNDERSTOOD THAT ALL COUNSEL WERE INTERESTED IN RECESSING FOR THE EVENING AT THIS TIME AND RESUMING TOMORROW MORNING; IS THAT CORRECT?
