         1                           THE COURT:  GOOD MORNING.  I

         2               HOPE YOU HAD A VERY NICE WEEKEND.  I

         7               THE WEEK IT'S GOING TO GET WARMER.  WE WILL

         8               DEAL WITH THAT.

         9                     ALSO, AS YOU KNOW THEY ARE CLEANING

        10               CITY HALL FACADE.  WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO

        11               COMPETE WITH THAT NOISE.

        12                     AGAIN, I ASK FOR YOUR PATIENCE.  NOW

        13               MR. JAMES YOUNG, MR. CHARLES YOUNG HAS

        14               RESTED ON BEHALF OF PLAINTIFF.  YOU MAY

        15               PROCEED.
