Court reconvenes briefly out of the jury's presence to get back on the record. Judge Ito notes the day will end at quarter to 4:00 and that a discovery/sanctions matter will be taken up after a break. A light exchange follows when Darden reacts audibly to the word 'sanctions.'
# 1 (The following proceedings were held in open Court, out of the presence of the jury:) # 2 THE COURT: All right. Back on the record. All parties are again present. Deputy Magnera, let's have the jurors, please. And my recollection is, we're going to quit at quarter to 4:00. And we will take a brief break, and then we have a discovery matter to take up.
# 3 MR. BLASIER: Sanctions.
# 4 MR. DARDEN: Did I make a noise?
# 5 THE COURT: You heard the word sanctions and your ears perked up.
