Chief Justice Marla Luckert issued a new Administrative Order yesterday continuing to suspend statutes of limitation, statutory time standards, deadlines and time limitations started under earlier orders in response to the COVID 19 pandemic.
Luckert’s action follows the State Finance Council’s decision last week to extend the COVID 19 State of Disaster Emergency.
On a local level, the order also continues the suspension of certain deadlines and time standards, including applicable statutory speedy trial provisions, for any municipal court closed or continuing trials because of COVID 19. The suspensions remain in effect until the court reopens and can reasonably place the case on its calendar, our until further order.
