6 The United States District Court for the District of Nevada has a constitutional duty to
7 hear and resolve cases, even during a period of partial government shutdown. To perform this
8 duty, judges rely on their chambers staff, as well as the officers and employees of the court, to
9 perform functions necessary and essential to the resolution of cases. Therefore, and consistent
10 with national directives, if appropriations for the current fiscal year are not continued or funded
11 before the January 30, 2026 expiration of the current Continuing Appropriations Act, all staff,
12 officers, and employees of the United States District Court for the District of Nevada are
13 ordered to report to work during their normally scheduled hours until further notice. The court
14 will continue to evaluate the fiscal situation and will adjust this directive as necessary.
