   (1) Receiving Verdict During Absence of Counsel.  A
party or attorney desiring to be present at the return of
the verdict must remain in attendance at the courthouse or
be available by telephone call. If a party or attorney
fails to appear within 20 minutes of telephone notice to the
attorney's office, home or other number, the court may
proceed to take the verdict in the absence of such party or
attorney.  In such case, the jury shall be individually
polled and the identity of any dissenting jurors recorded.
