its attorneys and employees have resumed their duties in normal fashion.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the stay imposed by General Order No. 25-13, as
amended, is hereby lifted. All deadlines in civil cases affected by General Order No. 25-13, as
amended, shall be extended for 43 days or as otherwise directed by the judge overseeing the case.
The Court shall distribute this amendment to General Order No. 25-13:
(a) by electronic service to all registered CM/ECF users; and
(b) by posting the General Order No. 25-13 and this amendment on the Court’s
public website.

Order by a separate ruling.
