`
`MR. MOLSTER: I apologize for that, Your Honor.
`THE COURT: No, that's not your fault. I'm just
`saying the transcript is not very clear. I want to make
`sure -- because this obviously is a significant case, and I
`want to make sure that the record is fully established.
`So what we discussed yesterday was, among other
`things, the fact that I would be taking this trial, but I
`was sensitive to the fact that it might be -- that you
`all -- and you had to agree to this, that if all the parties
`involved were concerned about having a different judge try
`the case, that I would then let you know that Judge O'Grady
`would not be available to try this case until August 15.
`My understanding from email communications is that
`the -- Mr. Grant, you and your client do not want the trial
`date changed, you want to get it done.
`MR. GRANT: That's correct.
`THE COURT: All right. And I understand,
`Mr. Molster, that your client is objecting.
`Now, there has not been an agreement to go to the
`August time, and I also understand that, you know,
`Judge O'Grady did address earlier requests, Mr. Molster, by
`your client, to have the trial put off later. He denied
`that. And, as I've said, I'm not going to upset any of his
`rulings. And so the law of the case, in my view, is it's
`going to go forward next week over your objection; all

`
`bit about them yesterday. I'm going to make sure that he's
`comfortable with the draft order. I've looked at it, I've
`suggested one change to it. And if he authorizes me to, I'm
`going to sign it so that you have it just for the record so
`you just don't have the transcript. All right.
`So is there anything else that we need to address
`right now?
`MR. GRANT: Just one thing, Your Honor. Since
`you're communicating with Judge O'Grady and his staff, I
`would ask that on behalf of both parties you send our best
`wishes for a speedy recovery.
`THE COURT: Thank you. Thank you.
`MR. MOLSTER: Ditto, Your Honor. Thank you very
`
`much.
`
`THE COURT: All right. Very good. I'll recess
`court. You all stay and work with my staff so the logistics
`are finished.
