`
`UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
`
`GENERAL ORDER 20-21
`MAY 27, 2020
`
`IN RE: CORONAVIRUS PUBLIC EMERGENCY
`
`SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER CONCERNING JURY TRIALS AND RELATED
`PROCEEDINGS
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`SAYLOR, C.J.
`
`This Order supplements and modifies General Order 20-2, issued March 12, 2020, and
`
`General Order 20-13, issued March 30, 2020.
`
`In light of the public emergency arising out of the coronavirus epidemic, and in order to
`
`protect public health, the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts hereby
`
`issues the following order:
`
`1. Effective immediately, all jury trials in the District of Massachusetts scheduled to begin
`
`on or before September 8, 2020, are continued pending further order of the Court. The
`
`Court may issue other orders concerning future continuances as necessary and
`
`appropriate.
`
`2. All trial-specific deadlines in criminal cases scheduled to begin on or before September 8,
`
`2020, are continued pending further order of the Court. Individual judges may continue
`
`trial-specific deadlines in civil cases in the exercise of their discretion.
`
`3. Individual judges presiding over criminal proceedings may take such actions consistent
`
`with this order as may be lawful and appropriate to ensure the fairness of the proceedings
`
`and preserve the rights of the parties.
`
`4. The Court is cognizant of the right of criminal defendants to a speedy and public trial
`
`
`
`Case 1:18-cv-01519-MN Document 144-3 Filed 06/04/20 Page 3 of 3 PageID #: 6231
`
`under the Sixth Amendment, and the particular application of that right in cases involving
`
`defendants who are detained pending trial. Any motion by a criminal defendant seeking
`
`an exception to this order in order to exercise that right should be directed to the District
`
`Judge assigned to the matter in the first instance; provided, however, that no such
`
`exception may be ordered without the approval of the Chief Judge after consultation with
`
`the Court.
`
`5. The time period of any continuance entered as a result of this order shall be excluded
`
`under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), as the Court finds that the ends of
`
`justice served by taking that action outweigh the interests of the parties and the public in
`
`a speedy trial. Absent further order of the Court or any individual judge, the period of
`
`exclusion shall be from May 29, 2020, to September 8, 2020. The Court may extend the
`
`period of exclusion as circumstances may warrant.
