`
`The Plan for Phased Resumption of Operations (“Reopening Plan”) is
`adopted. The Reopening Plan has three distinct Phases, as follows:
`a.
`Phase 1 (return of certain staff to the courthouses to prepare for
`limited in-court hearings) will be implemented no earlier than June
`1, 2020;
`Phase 2 (reopening courthouses for limited in-court hearings) will
`be implemented three weeks after Phase 1 and no earlier than June
`22, 2020; and
`Phase 3 (resumption of jury trials) will be implemented at a date to
`be determined.
`The Court will determine when to implement each Phase based on a
`recommendation from the Working Group of Judges, the District Court
`Executive/Clerk of Court, and staff, in consultation with federal, state, and
`local public health directives and guidance. The date determined for each
`Phase’s implementation is subject to change based on the circumstances at
`the time and directives from local, state, and federal public health
`authorities.
`Judges will determine when their chambers staff will return to work at the
`courthouses during each Phase of reopening. The District Court
`Executive/Clerk of Court will determine when and which Clerk’s Office
`and Probation and Pretrial Services Office staff will return to the
`courthouses during each Phase of reopening.
`The Court’s Continuity of Operations Plan (“COOP”) remains activated
`and is extended through and including the implementation of Phase 2 of
`the Reopening Plan, i.e., at least through June 22, 2020.
