The District Judges of this Court exercise judicial power under Article III

law clerks, judicial assistances, and court reporters, as well as the courtroom
deputies and other employees of the District Court Clerk’s Office, Bankruptcy
Court Clerk’s Office, and Probation and Pretrial Services Office, will continue to
perform excepted activities.
All individuals identified in the preceding paragraph are directed to report
to work and perform excepted activities according to their regularly scheduled
hours, unless otherwise notified.
No unit executives or other appointing authority employed by the Judiciary
shall be held personally liable under the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. §§ 1341-
1342, for actions taken in accordance with this order.
SO ORDERED.
