IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF ALASKA
IN RE: ORDER EXTENDING TERM OF
REGULAR GRAND JURY
MISCELLANEOUS
GENERAL ORDER 25-01
Pursuant to Section 4.06 of the District of Alaska’s Jury Plan, “no regular grand
juror shall serve more than 12 months unless the Court extends the service of the grand
jury upon a determination that such extension is in the public interest, in accordance with
Rule 6(g) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.”
The Court determines that extending the service of the grand jury set to be
impaneled in July 2025 for a term of 14 months is in the public interest, because
prospective grand jurors are generally more available to participate in the empanelment
of the grand jury proceeding if it were held in September each year rather than in July.
This is a one-time extension; after 2025, grand jurors will be empaneled each September
for a term of 12 months, unless otherwise ordered.
DATED this 28th day of May, 2025, at Anchorage, Alaska.
