Judge Ito announced a brief recess to allow counsel time to review technical materials that had just been presented. He estimated the break would last 15-20 minutes and reminded jurors of their standard admonitions.

# 1 (THE FOLLOWING PROCEEDINGS WERE HELD IN OPEN COURT:)

# 2 THE COURT:

ALL RIGHT. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I AM GOING TO TAKE A BRIEF RECESS JUST SO WE'RE NOT ALL SITTING HERE WAITING FOR COUNSEL TO FINISH READING THE MATERIALS. THEY ARE TECHNICAL MATERIALS. SO THEY DO NEED AN OPPORTUNITY TO READ THEM. I'M SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE DIFFICULTY THEY'RE IN WHEN THINGS ARE JUST PRESENTED. I AM GOING TO ASK YOU TO STEP BACK. PLEASE REMEMBER MY ADMONITION TO YOU; DON'T DISCUSS THE CASE WITH ANYONE, FORM ANY OPINIONS ABOUT THE CASE DON'T TALK TO ANYBODY ABOUT IT, DON'T LET ANYBODY TALK TO YOU, DON'T PERFORM ANY DELIBERATIONS WHILE YOU'RE BACK THERE. AND WE'LL SEE YOU PROBABLY ABOUT 15, 20 MINUTES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.
