On Wednesday, July 29th, our court extended for another week no in-person proceedings, making the following announcement:

Upon further discussion among our Pandemic Response Team, review of the community circumstances and further consultation with the County Health Officials this afternoon, as well as a review of the Health Director’s latest assessment, we are further extending our Phase II hold with no in-person proceedings or service in the Court facilities, including no counter service at the Clerk’s Office, through August 7, 2020. We will continue monitoring the situation in the community and consulting directly with our County Health officials. We will provide updates as available.

As before, please help us convey this information to your colleagues and, in particular, to any self-represented persons with whom you are involved in litigation. And once again, if you have any questions about a specific case, please contact the assigned Division.

Also, please continue using and encouraging others to use the best simple health practices to control the spread of this infection and the exposure to others in our community:  use face coverings; maintain social distancing; keep your hands away from your face, mouth, eyes and nose; and wash your hands and sanitize frequently. See the Johnson County Health Department website for more information on safe practices.

Thank you for your continuing cooperation.

Be safe.  Stay healthy. FOR THE COURT
