10 In response to the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) in the
11 District of Nevada, the Court has issued a series of general orders changing how the
12 Court operates to do its part in containing the spread of COVID-19. See General Orders
13 2020-02, 2020-03, 2020-04, 2020-05, 2020-08, 2020-09, 2020-10 (the “COVID-19
14 General Orders”).1 In Amended General Order 2020-03, the Court continued all jury
15 trials indefinitetly. Since then, the Court has begun incrementally resuming limited in-
16 person hearings, though the Court recognizes that emergency conditions that led the
17 Court to authorize the use of video and telephone conferencing under the “Coronavirus
18 Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act” (“CARES Act”) continue to exist. The Court now
19 amends Temporary General Order 2020-03 to allow jury trials to proceed in accordance
20 with the Court’s internal plan for resuming jury trials.
21 DATED THIS 27th day of August 2020.
