orders of this court, relating to the selection and recording of prospective juror names to
be extracted from the “Source Lists” as defined in Section 5(c) of the Jury Selection Plan.
3. For the Cedar Rapids-Eastern Division, the selection must commence with the

List, and, thereafter, every 58th name must be selected until the end of the Cedar Rapids-
Eastern Division Source List is reached.
For the Central Division, the selection must commence with the selection and
