Jury selection began Jan. 31 in the civil suit filed by Rambus against three memory manufacturers, including Micron. So far, it’s been slow going. Attorneys for both sides have been trading arguments, the majority of them under seal, on the admissibility of documents and witness testimony.
Finally, nearly a week and half in, we now know something was decided. On Jan. 31 Judge Ronald Whyte issued the following order, filed with the clerk of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on Feb. 7:
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the United States District Court Jury Commissioner shall furnish daily refreshments for the members of the jury in the above-entitled matter at the expense of the United States effective February 4, 2008 through March 19, 2008.
