IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF HAWAII
IN RE: AUTHORIZATION OF GRAND
JURY TO SIT THROUGH MARCH,
2021
NOVEMBER 18, 2020 TEMPORARY GENERAL ORDER AUTHORIZING
GRAND JURY TO SIT THROUGH MARCH 2021
Given the state of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including the
continued need to protect grand jurors, court employees, and witnesses from being
exposed to the COVID-19 virus, and considering the need for federal grand juries
to continue to meet, the court authorizes up to two grand jury sessions to be held
per month through the end of March 2021, with appropriate mitigation measures in
place.
If a grand jury sits during a day when the courthouse is closed, the United
States Marshals Service shall permit courthouse entry to grand jurors and others
with grand jury business such as witnesses, attorneys, court reporters, and
interpreters, and shall permit entry to members of the public for the purpose of
attending any return of indictment(s) by the grand jury.
ORDERED ON BEHALF OF THE COURT:
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaii, November 18, 2020.
