UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY
IN RE: EXTENSION OF TEMPORARY AMENDED GENERAL ORDER
RESTRICTIONS ON ACCESS TO NO. 20-19
THE GENE SNYDER UNITED STATES
COURTHOUSE
On September 21, 2020, the Court entered General Order 20-19, closing the Gene Snyder
United States Courthouse to the public from September 21, 2020 through September 25, 2020. In light
of Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer’s declaration of a state of emergency within the Louisville
Metropolitan area, and in an effort to safeguard the well-being of visitors to and employees in the
courthouse, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:
1. The Gene Snyder United States Courthouse shall remain closed to the public through
September 30, 2020.
2. All matters scheduled for in-court appearances during this time period shall be continued or
converted to videoconference proceedings, at the discretion of the presiding judge and consistent with
Sections 15002(b)(1) and 15002(b)(2) of the CARES Act.
3. Due to lack of mail delivery during this time period, all documents received by mail at the
Courthouse on October 1, 2020 shall be deemed received by the Clerk of Court as of September 21,
2020. All documents retrieved from the Courthouse’s drop box on October 1, 2020 shall similarly be
deemed received as of September 21, 2020.
