The only one left open was 24(b). Let me just take a quick look. I'm going to leave that as it is, because we'll do that as a follow-up in the voir dire. I should say all of this, a lot of work went into balancing the questions that are included in the questionnaire and the questions that are included in the voir dire because there are timing constraints on both, and so partly, I'm seeking to achieve a balance, and we need the questionnaire to be completable in time for the afternoon panel, as an example, and I think this is an appropriate question in any event for follow-up as I anticipate in the voir dire. That resolves the open questions. I'll make the changes. My draft will be docketed by the end of the week and the parties' joint proposed will be docketed by the end of the week as well in light of my prior ruling. Let me just get to one, I think, additional issue that I have. This is a logistical question that goes to my providing some oral preliminary instructions to the panel before they fill out the questionnaire. Typically, many judges would make, do make, a brief appearance in the jury assembly room where questionnaires are being filled out before the jurors fill out the questionnaire in order to emphasize the basic instructions and to see the SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.
