Adjournment

Date: Friday, March 3, 1995 • Utterances: 6
Judge Ito adjourned court until Monday, March 6, 1995 at 9:00 AM, directing prosecutors to share their upcoming witness lineup with defense counsel. Cheri Lewis briefly inquired about a pending sanctions ruling, and Ito gave a light non-answer about getting to it when he has time.
1 THE COURT:

ALL RIGHT. COUNSEL, JUST SCHEDULING WISE, I ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL RECONVENE MONDAY MORNING 9:00 O'CLOCK. WE WILL TAKE UP WITH THE CONCLUSION OF THE CROSS-EXAMINATION OF DETECTIVE LANGE AND OTHER WITNESSES. AND MISS CLARK, MR. DARDEN, MISS LEWIS, I WOULD ASK THAT YOU CONSULT WITH DEFENSE COUNSEL, LET THEM KNOW WHAT YOUR LINEUP IS GOING TO BE NEXT WEEK SO WE CAN ALL GET OUR NOTEBOOKS TOGETHER AS TO WHO'S WHO, EXCHANGE ANY LAST MINUTE DISCOVERY. ANYTHING ELSE WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT? ALL RIGHT. WE'LL STAND IN RECESS UNTIL MONDAY MORNING, 9:00 O'CLOCK.

2 MS. LEWIS:

YOUR HONOR, DOES THE COURT HAVE AN ANTICIPATION WHEN IT MIGHT HAVE THE RULING ON THE SANCTIONS?

WELL, ONE OF THESE DAYS WHEN I HAVE SOME TIME TO GO BACK TO MY WORD PROCESSOR.
