         2                           COURT CRIER:  COURT IS

         3               RECONVENED.

         4                           THE COURT:  GOOD AFTERNOON

         5               LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.  NOW, MR. LAURICELLA,

         6               ONE OTHER WITNESS YOU WANT TO CALL, BUT

         7               THAT WITNESS WON'T BE HERE UNTIL TOMORROW?

         8                           MR. LAURICELLA:  THAT'S

         9               CORRECT.

        10                           THE COURT:  OKAY.  SO IN ORDER

        11               TO MOVE ALONG, MR. YOUNG, YOU ARE GOING TO

        12               CALL A WITNESS ON BEHALF OF DR. JANOFF?

        13                           MR. YOUNG:  YES, SIR.

        14                           MR. LAURICELLA:  COULD WE MAKE

        15               THIS CLEAR THAT WE ARE TECHNICALLY IN THE

        16               DEFENSE CASE AND NOT IN PLAINTIFF'S?

        17                           THE COURT:  I THINK THE JURY IS

        18               SOPHISTICATED ENOUGH THAT THEY CAN FIGURE

        19               THAT OUT.

        20                           MR. YOUNG:  DEFENSE CALLS DAVID
