(The Jury resumed their deliberations at 9:00 a.m.)
(Call to Order of the Court at 11:45 a.m.)
THE COURT: Good morning, folks.
Well, not a peep.
MR. HOFFMAN: Your Honor, Mr. Sorkin is on his way
over.
THE COURT: Okay. Oh, he is here?
MR. HOFFMAN: He is here.
THE COURT: Oh, okay. His trial was settled or what?
MR. HOFFMAN: I'm not quite sure how he worked it out,
but he is here.
THE COURT: Okay.
All right. I had said on Thursday that we would
reconvene at a quarter to 12:00 on Monday. I cannot recall a
jury being out this long without advising us what do we do if
we're deadlocked. That's generally the question. But they
have not advised us of that. But it would certainly be helpful
to know where they're at; if there's close, if they think that
they will be able to reach a unanimous agreement. But I don't
want to do anything without getting input from you. And it's
always the option of doing nothing. But they've been out now
three full days and parts of two other days.
MR. RABER: We think it would make sense to make some
inquiry as to where they are. And along the lines, we had
discussed potentially Thursday if there were any questions

about any instructions that were hanging them up.
THE COURT: Mr. Sorkin.
MR. SORKIN: Your Honor, in light of the fact that the
jury has voluntarily come back for this additional week and
they have not indicated that they are in a position where they
can't resolve the issues, we think at this point we should let
the process play out. And if they have a question, they know
that they can indicate it. They have. The Court has made
clear to them that the Court is available for questions.
So at this point there hasn't been an indication from
the jury itself that they are at an impasse or they are at any
insurmountable issue, and I think they've understood, based on
the Court's instructions, that if they get to that point, they
have the ability to ask the Court.
THE COURT: Well, I did remind the jury on Thursday
before we recessed that if they needed a clarification
regarding the law, that the Court was here to assist them. I
reminded them that all issues of fact were exclusively within
their province and the Court could make no comment regarding
any factual issue.
So they have been readvised that the Court is
available to answer any questions of law, but I did tell them
they needed to be more specific than their first question which
was essentially explain the -- three of the major issues in the
case, legal issues.

MR. RABER: Your Honor, I'm sorry, I didn't --
THE COURT: No, I'm kind of stream of consciousness
here, which is probably not a good idea for a judge, but --
MR. RABER: It's not clear, however, that the jury has
been told or understands that they can come and tell Your Honor
if they feel like they're deadlocked.
Now, I know that that would seem obvious, that if they
were, they would ask that, but stranger things have happened.
THE COURT: Well, you raise an interesting question,
one that I raised in chambers with my law clerks. My
reluctance is to plant that seed. This is highly unusual for a
jury to deliberate this long without indicating or asking what
do we do if we're deadlocked, if we can't reach a unanimous
agreement.
MR. SORKIN: Your Honor, on that point as well, I
guess we would still continue to fall back on the fact that the
jury has not been -- has not indicated in any way that when
they have a question or if they have a question, that they're
not willing to ask it. They have been willing to and they're
here voluntarily.
So my concern is the same as the Court's articulated,
which is to start asking them questions or giving them more
than an indication that the Court is willing to consider
questions, we're going to suggest to them that what they're
doing is somehow inappropriate or that they should be getting

to a resolution when it might just be that they are working
hard to try and come to what they believe is the right answer
in a unanimous fashion.
THE COURT: Well, since the Court did readvise the
jury that any questions they had pertaining to the law, that
the Court was available to answer, I see no need to readdress
that at this time.
The only other avenue would be the civil Allen charge.
Once again, as I stated on Thursday, it's been this Court's
practice and, insofar as I know, most Courts practice not to
read that charge unless the jury has indicated that they are
deadlocked, and I did state if the parties agreed to the Court
giving that charge at this time, that I would certainly honor
such an agreement.
So I guess the bottom line is, I'm going to do nothing
at this point. It's hard to exercise restraint, but I think
that's the more appropriate course.
I certainly feel as Mr. Raber does, let's move this
thing forward, but I don't think it would be appropriate in
light of what the Court has previously advised the jury. So
we're a captive audience and --
MR. RABER: What are they getting served for lunch?
THE COURT: Well, I can tell you --
MR. RABER: Can we get some of that?
THE COURT: -- it's -- well, I'll be glad to show you

all a copy of the menu. It's salads, sandwiches. Nothing
elaborate. For ten people I can tell you, because I sign for
the bills, its generally between $87 and $95 each day. So I
just -- I don't know what else to do without invading their
province at this point.
So, Ms. Thompkins, have you ordered their lunch?
THE COURTROOM DEPUTY: Yes, Your Honor.
THE COURT: When did you order it?
THE COURTROOM DEPUTY: Probably about 11:45.
THE COURT: 11:45. So ten minutes ago.
So you all can go to lunch. And if we receive any
communication, you all will be the first to know. We will not
be withholding any information.
All right. We'll stand in recess.
MR. SORKIN: Thank you.
(Recess at 11:56 a.m.)
(Call to Order of the Court.)
THE COURT: All right. It is now almost 4:20, and we
have received no communication at all from the jury today.
It is highly unusual for a jury to have deliberated
now for about four full days and to not either ask what do we
do if we can't reach an agreement or advising the Court that
they are deadlocked.
Obviously, I have no idea where this jury is. I don't
know whether they're close to reaching a verdict or what's

going on. But the question I pose is: How long do we go
without inquiring at least for informational purposes in a very
benign way?
Mr. Sorkin, do you feel that we just go on
indefinitely?
MR. SORKIN: Your Honor, maybe -- and again, I might
now be putting myself in the position the Court was in earlier
of just thinking out loud, but maybe at this point in the day
asking them whether they are in a position, you know, we're
trying to figure out scheduling-wise for the Court, for the
facilities, for the courthouse, whether they will be here into
the evening or whether they will need to come back tomorrow.
I think that will give us some indication of whether
they're close, whether there's still a ways to go. So asking
the question in a way that is purely for scheduling purposes
and figuring out what facilities need to stay open for the
evening and, you know, maybe even whether it's beyond tomorrow,
that that I think indication would be benign and would at least
give us some opportunity to understand what they were thinking.
THE COURT: Look, I am unable to stay late tonight. A
very dear friend of mine, it is his wife's birthday today and
he invited my wife and I to dinner and I accepted and he's made
reservations. So I can't stay late tonight. But that sounds
reasonable.
Mr. Raber, do you wish to weigh in?

MR. RABER: Well, I think we've now been here --
they've been deliberating, by our account, approximately
34-and-a-half hours, and I'm still not convinced that they know
that they can ask for certain things.
In my experience, oftentimes a jury will ask to have
testimony reread because maybe there's a dispute in people's
notes about what a witness said. And perhaps a gentle question
along the lines of, do they feel -- now that they've come back
from the weekend, do they feel that they are still making
progress and are there any questions that might help them make
progress, and sort of open-ended like that, and let them come
back with an answer to that. It might be a gentle way to see
whether we're just chasing our tails in there or not.
THE COURT: Mr. Sorkin?
MR. SORKIN: Your Honor, I think as an initial matter
we can likely get some of the same information by doing it in a
way that really addresses the scheduling piece, and to put it
in the context of for planning purposes that the parties and
Court and the attorneys need to kind of understand where we're
at and where we're headed and what they think, and that will, I
think, elicit, you know, a response that will give us a sense
of what the hangups might be, if there are any, and whether
they have questions that they're not asking without putting
them in a position of having to address that.
MR. RABER: We would not have any objection to that

approach, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Okay. All right. Let's bring in the
jury.
(Jury in at 4:22 p.m.)
THE COURT: All right, folks. Please be seated.
Mr. Horne, how are you, sir?
THE JUROR: Pretty good, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Okay. I hope all of you had a happy
holiday weekend.
We all know that you all have been hard at work. We
calculated that you've spent somewhere around 34-and-a-half
hours deliberating so far. But we need some help in terms of
scheduling. We need to know whether you're making progress. I
don't want you to tell me any numerical vote or anything, but
we haven't heard a peep from you and we kind of need to know
whether you're close to reaching a verdict.
I don't want you to tell me here. I'm going to ask
you to go back and then let me know after you all have all
discussed the issue.
And also whether there's anything that the Court can
do in terms of further legal explanations that might assist
you.
I know that's very general, because I do not want to
invade your deliberative process in any way, and I don't want
to pressure you either. I'm merely asking for informational

purposes so that we can schedule.
So please return to the jury room.
(Jury out at 4:26 p.m.)
THE COURT: All right, folks. Please be seated.
Yes, sir.
MR. RABER: I go to the great Bear Bryant to sum up
what I'm hearing right now, which is, he said, if you whoop and
holler all the time, the players just get used to it. And it
just sounds like there's some whooping and hollering going on
in there, and I think it's time for a civil Allen charge. I
think they can't even agree on something about, you know, tell
us if you're making progress.
THE COURT: It is extremely frustrating and the Court
is certainly moving in that direction, but I thought that was a
pretty straightforward question that the Court asked. And I
agree. It has been, what, 20 minutes now since I asked the
question.
I'm going to ask Ms. Thompkins to knock on the door
and ask the jury if they have the note ready for the Court.
THE COURTROOM DEPUTY: Two minutes.
THE COURT: Ms. Thompkins advised the Court, two
minutes. They're on the clock.
MR. RABER: My question is: How many time-outs do
they have?
THE COURT: None. All time-outs have been revoked.

MR. HOFFMAN: We're on the two-minute drill.
THE COURT: All right. The Court has received a note
from the jury in response to the Court's question which reads
as follows:
"At this time we cannot determine how much time it
will take."
The problem that we run into with the Allen charge is,
is that there's authority, and I'm not sure about the Eleventh
Circuit at this point, but there is authority from the Ninth
Circuit that says that an Allen charge is not to be prematurely
given if the jury is not definitively deadlocked, United States
versus Chambers, 2015 WL 12862915, Northern District of
California. We'll see if we can find some circuit authority
that's a district court.
MR. RABER: That also sounds like a criminal case,
Your Honor.
THE COURT: It is a criminal case. It definitely is a
criminal case. You're right. We're looking for additional
authority.
MR. SORKIN: Your Honor, we have, as no surprise, been
looking -- we have not found any case that has -- in which an
Allen charge has been given in a civil context in advance of a
clear indication of a deadlocked jury, which is part of our
concern with proceeding this way at this time. I thought that
the question, quite honestly, that I presented with respect to

scheduling might lead to information that would instruct us,
but --
THE COURT: Well, I also melded as, you can tell, I
melded in with your suggestion Mr. Raber's suggestion regarding
progress, and obviously they ignored that.
MR. RABER: It's happened before.
MS. REYES: Never mind me.
THE COURT: Yes, I agree unfortunately.
Well, if we don't have a verdict by 5:30, that's
obviously highly unlikely at this point when they can't even
tell me give me a ballpark as to time, I'm going to recess for
the day at 5:30, and we'll continue to research on the Allen
charge.
I do feel that something needs to be done to move this
jury along without obviously pressuring the jury. But
certainly from the standpoint of counsel, I know counsel for
both -- for all parties is from out of state and this, you
know, has to be an expensive proposition at this point, plus
your time is extremely valuable. But I don't want to do
anything that's going to jeopardize any party's right to
fairness. But having said that, I'm certainly open to any
additional suggestions as to --
MR. RABER: I don't necessarily have a suggestion, but
I interpret them saying at this time we cannot determine how
much time it will take, that to me is a deadlock. And so

14
that's how I interpret that. If they can't even comment,
they're deadlocked on that question.
So I think it is wise for us to look at the civil
Allen charge and look for some authority on under what
circumstances that can be done. We'll undertake to do that as
well.
THE COURT: All right.
MR. RABER: And perhaps there's an opportunity
tomorrow for that. I do agree that now that's not something
we're asking for, but at some point.
THE COURT: Well, if there is authority out there,
certainly I will consider it. I don't want to sound redundant.
I just -- I have never given it prior to a jury advising the
Court that they were deadlocked, and I'm not aware of any other
cases where it's been given prior to the jury announcing that
they were deadlocked. But if there's authority out there, it
is certainly something that I will consider.
We have no idea what the problem is. We have no idea
whatsoever.
All right. Well, we've got a half an hour before we
reach the 5:30 hour. So we will stand in recess until then.
But you all can stay here since it is only half an hour.
We're off the record.
(Recess at 5:00 p.m.)

THE COURT: Okay. We found an Eleventh Circuit case,
US v Bush, 727 F.3d 1308, which says, and I'm quoting, our
precedent does not require such an express indication of
deadlock before the district court gives an Allen charge.
And there was one case where the Allen charge was
given three-and-a-half hours after the jury retired to
deliberate, and that was not an abuse of discretion. That was
a Fifth Circuit case that preceded 1981. So it is good law in
the Eleventh.
Another Fifth Circuit case that was cited affirmed the
district court's sua sponte Allen charge where the jury did not
indicate that it was deadlocked. That's United States versus
Scruggs, 583 F.2d 238, Fifth Circuit, 1978. And in that case
the jury had deliberated for almost four hours. So here we've
got 35 hours now.
So I'll give you all a chance to complete your
research, but I'm certainly inclined tomorrow at least at some
point to give the civil Allen charge, Eleventh Circuit Pattern
2.8.
All right. Let's bring the jury in.
(Jury in at 5:27 p.m.)
THE COURT: All right, folks. Please be seated.
All right. We're going to send you home for the day.
I would like you back here at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning to
resume your deliberations.

Do not resume those deliberations until all ten jurors
are present in the jury room.
Remember, during the recess do not discuss the case or
otherwise communicate with anyone regarding the substance of
the case. Should there be something reported in the new media,
do not read, watch, or listen to it. And do not do any
independent research either online or offline.
So we'll stand in recess till 9:00 a.m. tomorrow
morning.
(Jury out at 5:28 p.m.)
THE COURT: Folks, anything else?
MR. RABER: Does the Court have a time when you would
like us to come back tomorrow?
THE COURT: Let's make it 10 o'clock.
MR. RABER: Okay.
THE COURT: If we haven't heard anything, the Court's
inclined to give, as I said, the civil Allen charge at
10:00 a.m. tomorrow.
MR. RABER: Okay.
THE COURT: Of course, if we hear anything before
then, you will be notified promptly.
MR. RABER: Okay.
THE COURT: Enjoy the game tonight.
MR. SORKIN: Thank you.
THE COURT: We'll stand in recess.
