Lapse in Appropriations 10/01/25

The judiciary will continue to fulfill its constitutional responsibilities to the public notwithstanding a lapse in appropriations.  Courthouses will remain open.  Also, the Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) system will be operational for electronic filing of documents.  Most proceedings and deadlines will occur as scheduled.  However, in cases that involve attorneys from Executive Branch agencies who are furloughed, hearing and filing dates may be rescheduled as determined by the court.  The court will post public notices if any services are stopped or delayed.
