2 but you may not tell them anything else about it until you've

4 Third, do not let anyone talk to you about the case or

11 should not tell anyone, including your fellow jurors. To
12 minimize the probability of any such improper communication, it
13 is important that you go straight to the jury room when you
14 come in in the morning, and that you remain in the jury room
15 for the duration of the trial day. You should not linger in
16 the public areas of the courthouse on this floor or elsewhere

18 Fourth, do not do any research or any investigation
19 about the case or about anyone who has anything to do with the

21 trial, don't read or listen to or watch any news reports about
22 the case, don't go on the internet or use whatever digital or
