April 4, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 165 ORDER RE TWO TRIAL DOCUMENTS signed by Judge Garland E. Burrell, Jr. on 4/3/2012. Attached are the Court's voir dire questions and preliminary jury instructions.

DeLaCruz v. Atchison, T. & S. F. Ry. Co., 405 F.2d 459, 462 (5th Cir. 1968). "While... a [party] is entitled to a voir dire that fairly and adequately probes a juror's qualifications, a [party] is not necessarily entitled to test the jurors on their capacity to accept his [or her] theory of the case."
