LR54.2. Jury Costs for Unused Panels
If for any reason attributable to counsel or parties, including a settlement
or change of plea, the court is unable to commence a jury trial as scheduled
where a panel of prospective jurors has reported to the courthouse for the voir
dire, the court may assess against counsel or parties responsible all or part of
the cost of the panel. Any monies collected as a result of said assessment
shall be paid to the clerk who shall promptly remit them to the Treasurer of the
United States.
