Defense attorney Robert Shapiro requested a brief chambers meeting with the judge for scheduling purposes. Prosecutor Marcia Clark reminded the court that all matters must be on the record, and the judge agreed before calling a recess at 9:55 a.m.

# 1 MR. SHAPIRO:

Your Honor, may the Court and -- may counsel approach the Court for purposes of scheduling only?

# 2 THE COURT:

Yes. Do you want this on the record?

# 3 MR. SHAPIRO:

It can be on the record or off the record. Just a personal reference to the court.

# 4 THE COURT:

Then I'll see counsel in chambers with the reporter.

# 5 MS. CLARK:

Yes. All matters do have to be on the record in this matter, Your Honor.
