STANDING ORDER EXTENDING CARES ACT AUTHORITY
As authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, H.R.
748 (the CARES Act), the Court previously issued standing orders authorizing the use
of video and/or audio conference to conduct identified criminal proceedings. See
Middle District Standing Order 2020-03, 2020-07, 2020-08, 2020-10, 2020-12, 2020-
13, 2021-02, 2021-04, 2021-05, 2021-07, 2021-09, 2022-01, 2022-05. The Court
specifically finds that this authority remains necessary and in certain circumstances
the appearance of persons live at the courthouse for court proceedings would place
the public health and safety in serious jeopardy. Accordingly, the Court renews its
authority under the CARES Act to conduct the proceedings identified in Standing
Order 2020-03 by video and/or audio means for an additional 90 days from the date of
today’s order.
SO ORDERED, this 21st day of July, 2022.
