I'm sorry. All right. I'm going to have to interrupt for just a few minutes. (There was a pause in the proceedings from 10:45 a.m. to 10:55 a.m.)

All right. I do want to apologize to you for the interruption. Judge Mills, who is the supervising judge of the Superior Court, did request that I interrupt the proceedings to speak with him, and for the purpose of making this announcement. There was a Court order that was made by the Superior Court, and I'm going to read it to you as follows: "Minute order: The court has read and considered the ex parte application for emergency meeting between supervising judge Lance Ito and defense counsel, and heard the argument of Robert Shapiro and Gerald Uelmen in camera. "The court hereby appoints judge Delbert Wong as a special master on behalf of the court. Judge Wong is directed to accompany counsel for the defendant to recover certain items of real evidence, to place any such real evidence under seal, and return any said items to this court forthwith. "The clerk of the court is directed to take the items submitted by Judge Wong into the custody of the court pending further order of this court. "The case file shall be sealed pending further order of this court." It was the determination that the Superior Court, in essence, didn't really have the jurisdiction to handle this particular matter since this case was not in the Superior Court. It's here in the Municipal Court. Nonetheless, judge Delbert Wong was appointed as the special master and as the special master, he did recover apparently some items of evidence related to this matter. They are in the envelope -- whatever it is is in the envelope here that I'm holding in my hand. At this time I'm going to deliver this to the clerk, and the clerk of the court will maintain possession and control of this until the appropriate time in these proceedings when that envelope will be opened and we'll be able to determine what, in fact, is inside it. I do not know what is in the envelope. I do know, however, that Judge Wong does have a report, a written report, of some kind in addition to whatever physical evidence is in that envelope therein, and we will examine that in due course. At this point in time I suggest that we continue with the examination of the witness.

Excuse me, Your Honor, but may I inquire? This is the first I've learned of this because it was an ex parte application. Is the court aware of where the evidence originated from?

And does the court have any inclination to indicate at what point we'll be able to view that evidence?

I would think that item of evidence could be opened as a part of the court record in the proceedings in this matter. I think that we should at least conclude the testimony of the witness that we have on the stand at this point before we do that.

Thank you very much, Your Honor.
