ASSESSMENT OF JURY COSTS

If for any reason attributable to counsel or parties, including settlement, the court is unable to commence a jury trial as scheduled where a panel of prospective jurors has reported for the voir dire, or a selected jury reports to try the case, all or part of the costs of the panel, including, but not limited to, mileage, attendance fees, and per diem for each juror reporting for service, may be assessed against the parties and attorneys responsible for the court’s inability to proceed. Any monies collected as a result of assessment will be paid to the clerk of this court for transmittal to the Treasury of the United States.
