Just a couple more questions.
1:23:37
And actually, general counsel, I'll stick with you.
1:23:40
With regards to the DUI deadlocking investigation, are there any updates that you can share?
James Conroy
1:23:46
No.
1:23:47
That's ongoing, and as a matter of fact, we just had a communication with them this morning where we're facilitating some transfer of discovery for them.
Sandy Nurse
1:23:55
Okay.
1:23:55
I believe we heard that there was an internal memo that was distributed to staff about deadlocking to discourage this practice.
1:24:05
That that's correct.
1:24:05
That happened?
James Conroy
1:24:06
That's right.
1:24:07
It was back when this first was raised at the board of correction meeting.
1:24:09
We did circulate it at that time.
Sandy Nurse
1:24:11
Is it possible for you to share that with the council?
Ernie Collette
1:24:13
Sure.
1:24:14
Yeah.
James Conroy
1:24:14
We can follow with that, yeah.
1:24:15
Okay.
