General Order Re: Closure of Court Facilities to the Public Related to COVID-19

Wednesday, March 18, 2020

To the extent this Order differs from previous orders of the Court on this subject, this Order supersedes and replaces those orders.  On March 13, 2020, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana issued a General Order concerning Court Operations Under the Exigent Circumstances Created by COVID-19 and Related Coronavirus. In that Order, the Court noted that current court operations present substantial health risks to the public and reduced certain Court operations as deemed appropriate at that time. The COVID-19 situation has continued to intensify and risks to the public, Court personnel, and the orderly administration of justice are increasing.  Effective March 18, 2020, at 12:00 p.m., the U.S. District Court, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, and the U.S. Probation Office, for the Southern District of Indiana, at certain locations, are CLOSED to the Public.  See attached Order for more details.
