FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS CLERK, U.S. DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS

EAST ST. LOUIS OFFICE
IN RE: )
COURT OPERATIONS AND )
THE USE OF VIDEO AND )
TELECONFERENCING DURING THE ) Administrative Order No. 266
EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES )
CREATED BY THE COVID-19 VIRUS.)

SECOND AMENDED ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER

This second amended omnibus Administrative Order amends and supersedes
Administrative Order No. 266, dated May 12, 2020,1 relative to cases and proceedings
before the District Court, the use of video and teleconferencing, and the operation of the
federal courthouses in East St. Louis and Benton, Illinois, during the continuing exigent
circumstances created by the COVID-19 virus. Bankruptcy Court proceedings also are
addressed below. This second amendment of Administrative Order No. 266 details a
phased reopening of the courthouses and resumption of operations.

I. Implementation of the COOP/COVID-19 Plan

The current COVID-19 outbreak has impacted the Southern District of Illinois, all
50 states, and countries around the world. Although for many this disease appears to
cause only flu-like symptoms, for others it can pose a serious risk, even death. There is
currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19. On March 29, 2020, the Judicial Conference of
the United States declared that emergency conditions caused by the COVID-19 outbreak

are materially affecting, and will continue to materially affect, the functioning of the

1 Administrative Order No. 266 (and subsequent amendments) supplant Second Amended Administrative
Order No. 261 dated April 1, 2020, Amended Administrative Order No. 262 dated April 1, 2020, and
Administrative Order No. 263 dated March 30, 2020.

federal courts generally. The rate of contamination in the 38 counties comprising this
district is declining, but the Center for Disease Control (“CDC”) has stressed the need to
continue practicing measures such as teleworking, wearing masks, and social distancing.

The CDC and local public health officials have advised that the best way to prevent
illness is to avoid opportunities for exposure. The virus is thought to spread mainly from
person-to-person, particularly between people who are in close proximity with one
another (within 6 feet) and through contact with contaminated surfaces. The Court finds,
for the reasons stated, that under The Federal Judiciary COVID-19 Recovery Guidelines
issued by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts on May 7, 2020, it can
begin a phased reopening of the courthouses at this time, but it must apply recommended
social distancing measures to protect the health of litigants, counsel, witnesses, the public,
and court personnel.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the undersigned Chief Judge and chair of the
district's Security Committee—after consultation with the judges of this district, the
United States Marshals Service, the Federal Protective Service, and the General Services
Administration building managers—activates and implements the district’s
COOP/COVID-19 Plan, effective through August 1, 2020. In accordance with the Plan,
and pursuant to 41 C.F.R. § 102-74.375(b), access to the federal courthouses in East St.
Louis and Benton will be limited, and the operations of the District Court, Bankruptcy
Court, and the Probation and Pretrial Services Office will be altered accordingly.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, consistent with the COOP/COVID-19 Plan, and

after consultation with the Human Resources Division of the Administrative Office of the

Page 2 of 15
United States Courts, all employees of the District Court are directed to telework until
July 5, 2020, except when directed by their supervisor to report to the courthouse. All
District Court employees who, after consultation with their supervisor, are deemed
unable to telework or perform alternate duties, will be placed on administrative leave.

II. Courthouse Restrictions

It is ORDERED that through July 5, 2020:

The federal courthouses in East St. Louis and Benton will be CLOSED to the
public, subject to exceptions for special settings, as ordered by the Court. No
members of the public, other than litigants with a scheduled proceeding,
counsel of record in that matter, law enforcement having official duties
connected with a court proceeding, investigators or employees of counsel,
court interpreters and contract court reporters, credentialed press, and those
otherwise authorized to enter on official business, may enter the U.S. District
Courthouses in East St. Louis and Benton without prior permission from a
judge of this district, the Clerk of Court, the Probation and Pretrial Services
Office, or other agency housed in the courthouse(s).

Until further order of the Court the following restrictions and protocols shall
apply:

e Allpersons seeking entry to, or occupying the courthouse, must wear a face
covering or mask in the public areas of the courthouses; this includes the
lobby, elevator banks, restrooms, public corridors, and, unless excused by
the presiding judge, courtrooms. The face covering or mask must always
completely conceal the wearer's nose and mouth. Personnel working in a
private office or workspace that permits at least six feet of physical distance
from other persons may temporarily remove the face covering or mask.
The only persons excepted from this requirement are those who provide
documentation that they are unable, for medical reasons, to wear a face

covering.

e Any person falling into one of the following categories SHALL NOT ENTER
either courthouse:

Page 3 of 15
* People with these symptoms or combinations of symptoms
within the last 14 days:
* Cough
* Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Or at least two of these symptoms:

e Fever

¢ Chills

¢ Muscle pain
¢ Headache

e Sore throat
e New loss of taste or smell

¢ Persons who have been diagnosed with or have had contact with
anyone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 within the last

14 days.

¢ Persons who have been asked to self-quarantine by any doctor,
hospital, or health agency within the last 14 days.

e The Federal Protective Service and Court Security Officers will enforce the
posted building restrictions. Visitors must review signage regarding the
criteria for exclusion from the courthouse and answer whether they meet
the criteria for restriction. Those answering “yes” to the criteria for
restriction will be denied access to the courthouse. Visitors who visibly
appear to have the symptoms listed above will also be denied entry to the
building. All other security requirements for entrance, such as showing
proper identification and passing through a magnetometer, remain in
effect.

e Visitors are expected to perform hand hygiene at the point of entry, and
practice social distancing while in the courthouse. Hand sanitizer will also

be available throughout the building.

e Visitors will be asked to leave if they do not follow these standards or
maintain social distancing as directed, and may be found in contempt of

Court.

e Members of the public not permitted access to the courthouse may call for
assistance:

canceled, subject to being reset.

Ill. The CARES Act and Criminal Proceedings

Section 15002(b) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act
(“CARES Act”), H.R. 748 (2020), provides for video teleconferencing, or telephone
conferencing if video teleconferencing is not reasonably available, for certain criminal
proceedings, if the Judicial Conference of the United States finds that emergency
conditions caused by the COVID-19 outbreak will materially affect the functioning of
either the federal courts generally or a particular district court, and the chief judge of a
court covered by that finding authorizes video teleconferencing, or telephone
conferencing if video teleconferencing is not reasonably available. Additional case-bycase findings are required of the presiding judge relative to felony pleas and sentencings.
In any event, video teleconferencing and telephone conferencing can only occur with the
consent of the defendant.

The Court finds, for the reasons stated above relative to the Implementation of the

COOP/COVID-19 Plan, that it cannot apply the recommended social distancing

Page 5 of 15
measures in all situations without endangering the health of defendants, counsel, the
public, and court personnel, thereby necessitating the use of video teleconferencing, or
telephone conferencing if video teleconferencing is not reasonably available. As of the
date of this Order, telephone conferencing has been tested and is operational, and a
stable, secure video teleconferencing system is available in some, but not all,

circumstances.

Effective immediately, the Court AUTHORIZES the use of video
teleconferencing, or telephone conferencing if video teleconferencing is not reasonably
available, for the following criminal proceedings, as specified in the CARES Act:

Detention hearings under 18 U.S.C. § 3142;

Initial appearances under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 5;

Preliminary hearings under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 5.1;

Waivers of Indictment under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 7(b);

Arraignments under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 10;

Probation and supervised revocation proceedings under Federal Rule of

Criminal Procedure 32.1;

e Pretrial release revocation proceedings under 18 U.S.C. § 3148;

e Appearances under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 40;

e Misdemeanor pleas and sentencings under Federal Rule of Criminal
Procedure 43(b)(2);

e Proceedings under 18 U.S.C. § 403 (commonly known as the “Federal

Juvenile Delinquency Act’), except for contested transfer hearings and

juvenile delinquency adjudication or trial proceedings

The video teleconferencing or telephone conferencing authorized above may only

take place with the consent of the defendant, or the juvenile, after consulting with

counsel.

Further, the Court, sua sponte, specifically finds that felony pleas under Federal

Rule of Criminal Procedure 11 and felony sentencings under Federal Rule of Criminal

Page 6 of 15
Procedure 32 cannot be conducted in person without seriously jeopardizing public health
and safety. In accordance with the CARES Act, these proceedings are authorized to be
conducted by video teleconference, or by telephone conference if video conference is not
reasonably available, if the district judge in a particular case finds for specific reasons that
the plea or sentencing in that case cannot be further delayed without serious harm to the
interests of justice. The video teleconferencing or telephone conferencing of felony pleas
under Rule 11 and felony sentencings under Rule 32 may only take place with the consent
of the defendant, or the juvenile, after consulting with counsel.

Information detailing how to access any audio and/or video feed of court
proceedings will be posted in the notice of setting on a case-by-case basis, and general
information will be published on the district court's public web page,
www.ilsd.uscourts.gov. The minutes of the proceeding will reflect when video
teleconferencing and/or telephone conferencing is utilized.

IV. Video and Teleconferencing for the Public and Press

In any traditional in-court proceeding —civil or criminal—that is conducted via
video teleconference or telephone conference due to the exigent circumstances stemming
from the COVID-19 outbreak, audio and video feeds will be available to the public and
press to the extent practicable. Information detailing how to access any audio and/or
video feed of court proceedings will be posted in the notice of setting on a case-by-case
basis, and general information will be published on the district court’s public web page.
Members of the public and press are expected to mute their end of the line and to not

disrupt proceedings in any way. All rules and prohibitions on the recording of

Page 7 of 15
proceedings remain in effect. See ILSD Local Rule 83.5.

In the event a defendant in a criminal case does not consent to the use of video
teleconferencing or telephone conferencing under Sections 15002(b)(1-2) of the CARES
Act, credentialed members of the press and public may attend such hearings in person in
accordance with this Order, provided social distancing can be maintained. At the
discretion of the presiding judge, principal participants and the public and press may be
physically segregated from each other, including utilizing multiple rooms, and video
teleconferencing and/or telephone conferencing. Social distancing protocols will be
required in all proceedings, and the number of in-person participants may be limited
based on the capacity of the room, and in consideration of CDC guidance on social
distancing. Courtroom spectators are reminded that there are health and safety risks
associated with attending an in-person court hearing.

The Court recognizes that the public and the press have a qualified First
Amendment right of access to certain court proceedings and that the use of video
teleconferencing and/or telephone conferencing may implicate that right. Nonetheless,
for the reasons set forth herein, the Court finds that these procedures are necessitated by
the emergency conditions caused by COVID-19 and must be implemented to prevent the
spread of the COVID-19 virus. See Press-Enterprise Co. v. Superior Court, 478 U.S. 1, 9
(1986); Press-Enterprise Co. v. Superior Court, 464 U.S. 501, 510 (1984); Walton v. Briley, 361
F.3d 431, 433 (7th Cir. 2004).

V. District Court Filings and Proceedings

¢ Through July 5, 2020, while the courthouses are closed to the public, filings will

Page 8 of 15
continue to be processed in civil and criminal cases via the Case
Management/ Electronic Case Filing (“CM/ECF”) system. For those without
access to CM/ECF, documents may be submitted by mail, or in the event of
emergency, may be submitted by email to:
Emergency Filing@ilsd.uscourts.gov. All emergency filings must include an
email address and phone number where the filer may be reached. Filings
submitted by mail will be processed upon receipt, albeit at a delayed pace. (The
impact of this delay is addressed below.) Payments by attorneys utilizing the
CM/ECF system will be processed via credit card utilizing Pay.gov. Nonattorneys may make payments via credit card by calling the Clerk’s Offices in
East St. Louis or Benton on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 9:00 a.m. and
noon. Payments by check or money order will be accepted by mail and will be
processed upon receipt, albeit at a delayed pace. Cash payments will not be
accepted during this period of exigent circumstances. Any pro se litigant filing
a case via mail who cannot secure a check or money order should submit his
or her filing by mail, and the Clerk’s Office will send a notice directing payment
be submitted after the courthouses reopen. Any questions may be directed to:

e East St. Louis District Court Help Desk: 866-867-3169
e Benton District Court Help Desk: 866-222-2104

Messages will be returned during business hours (9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.)

No civil jury trials will occur before August 1, 2020, due the Court's inability
to obtain an adequate spectrum of jurors, and the effect of public health
recommendations and restrictions on the availability of defendants, counsel,
witnesses, and court staff to be present in the courtroom. Between June 1 and
July 5, 2020, all other civil matters, including bench trials, hearings, and
settlement conferences, may be scheduled as necessary for an in-court
appearance before any district or magistrate judge in the East St. Louis or
Benton courthouses. Judges also shall have discretion to utilize
videoconferencing or telephone conferencing and will send the appropriate
notice to counsel.

In all civil cases, all deadlines, whether set by the Court, the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure, or Local Rules, remain as set as of the date of this Order. More
specifically, deadlines previously extended by Administrative Orders Nos.
261, 262, and 263 (and any subsequent amendments) are not extended further
by this omnibus Order. Administrative Orders Nos. 261, 262, and 263 (and any
subsequent amendments), and this omnibus Order do not grant an extension
of any deadlines imposed by Civil Rules 50(b) or (d), 52(b), 59(b), (d), or (e),
or 60(b). See Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(2). If the COVID-19 public emergency results
in the Clerk’s Office being inaccessible, deadlines will be extended as set forth

Page 9 of 15
in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(a)(3). Litigants are cautioned that
Administrative Orders Nos. 261, 262, and 263 (and any subsequent
amendments), and this omnibus Order do not affect the rights to, or
deadlines concerning, any appeal from any decision of this Court. The
deadlines for filing a notice of appeal remain in place and must be followed
to preserve appellate rights. The Court invites parties to file an extension of
time to appeal under Appellate Rule 4(a)(5)(A) no later than 30 days after the
time prescribed by Rule 4(a). If a timely extension motion is filed, then the
Court deems that good cause exists for the extension in light of current public
health concerns. If a filing is mailed by a prisoner, the traditional “mail box”
rule shall govern its filing date. Given the public health emergency and the
current inability of the Clerk’s Office to process mail in the ordinary course, if
a filing is mailed by a non-prisoner, the filing date shall be deemed to be the
postmark date, subject to any party’s right to move that a different date be
used.

This Order does not affect the Court's consideration of civil or criminal motions
that can be resolved without in-court proceedings. The presiding judge, on a
case-by-case basis and for good cause shown, may extend, shorten, or revoke
any deadline previously extended by Administrative Orders Nos. 261, 262, and
263 (and any subsequent amendments).

Any requirement imposed by this U.S. District Court that the United States
Marshals Service, or anyone contracted on its behalf, effect personal service of
process under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(c)(3), 28U.S.C. § 1915(d), or
28 U.S.C. § 1916, for any cases pending in this district or any other district, is
SUSPENDED until July 5, 2020. This Order does not apply to service of
process by mail, waivers of service under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(d),
or service by electronic means, unless otherwise ordered by the Court. In any
civil case in which the United States Marshals Service has suspended the
service of process under this Order, the time for service under Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 4(m) is TOLLED until August 1, 2020.

With regard to criminal matters before the Court, the Court shall have
discretion to quash any previously issued arrest warrant and instead issue a

summons.

The Court further FINDS that any delay incurred in arrestees being brought
before a magistrate judge pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 5(a)
during this period of time, by its nature, to be a necessary delay to protect all
parties, counsel, and the public, as well as jail and court staff. Provisions of the
Speedy Trial Act are not triggered until “the filing date (and making public) of

Page 10 of 15
the information or indictment” or “from the date the defendant has appeared
before a judicial officer of the court in which [the] charge is pending” —
whichever date last occurs. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(c)(1).

Magistrate judges shall provisionally appoint the Office of the Federal Public
Defender on any new or recent arrests in cases where counsel has not appeared,
subject to being vacated if the individual is later determined to not be indigent.
Any such appointment will, of course, be vacated if private counsel enters an
appearance on behalf of a defendant.

The United States Marshals Service is DIRECTED to not transport any
individuals subject to a writ of habeas corpus to the district between now and
July 5, 2020, unless directed to do so by the Court.

If any defendant and his/her counsel or the United States Attorney seeks an
immediate in-person hearing before a magistrate judge before July 5, 2020—as
is his right—counsel shall file a motion making the request and stating the
reason an immediate hearing is needed. When possible, the motion shall be
designated as a joint motion. If a joint request is not feasible, the magistrate
judge will impose a short deadline for a response. Any motions requesting a
hearing shall be brought to the immediate attention of the appropriate
magistrate judge’s chambers. Magistrate judges will decide on a case-by-case
basis whether the circumstances call for an emergency hearing and, if deemed
appropriate, a hearing will be set by the magistrate judge.

Any emergency hearing required before July 5, 2020, will be held remotely by
video conferencing if the defendant consents pursuant to Federal Rule of
Criminal Procedure 5(f) and the terms of this Order. The Court will accept
verbal consents on the record when the hearing is held, thus it is not necessary
for counsel to secure a written waiver. Such requests should be made, for
instance, when there is an argument for immediate release of the defendant or
there is any other compelling reason that a hearing is absolutely necessary
before July 5, 2020. A transfer to a facility with established videoconferencing
may be necessary if a remote hearing is required and cannot be accomplished
according to the current placement designated by the United States Marshals

Service.

Only essential proceedings will occur between June 1 and July 5, 2020. Initial
appearances, arraignments, detention hearings, and proceedings where inperson attendance is constitutionally required are deemed essential and will be
conducted in person, absent any waiver permitted under the law and the terms
of this Order. As to all other criminal matters during this period, judges shall
have sole discretion to determine what proceedings should go forward, or

Page 11 of 15
whether videoconferencing or telephone conferencing can be utilized. Each
judge will so notify the affected parties and reset the matters as appropriate.
Delays will be kept to a minimum, particularly with respect to pretrial
detention. These continuances will not affect any other deadlines unless the
presiding judge so indicates.

Until further Order of the Court, all matters set for an in-person hearing,
counsel must make the necessary inquiries and notify the presiding judge and
opposing counsel if that attorney or any individuals the attorney intends to
bring to the courthouse meet any of the criteria for restriction from the
courthouse. The presiding judge will have sole discretion to determine whether
the proceeding should be delayed or can go forward, perhaps by alternative

means.

All detainees, upon arrival at the East St. Louis or Benton courthouses and
before appearance in Court, shall undergo screening for fever and other
outward signs of COVID-19 contamination; such screening shall be
administered by and/or at the direction of the United States Marshals Service
(USMS), or its agents or designees. The presiding judge must be notified if the
detainee exhibits risk factors. The judge shall have the discretion to order the
detainee returned to the facility from which he or she came. Video
teleconferencing and telephone conferencing and other technologies may also
be utilized as practicable, and participants in a hearing may be separated as
directed by the presiding judge in the interest of public health.

Due to the possibility that the Court's ability to obtain an adequate spectrum
of jurors will be reduced, and the effect of public health recommendations and
restrictions on the availability of defendants, counsel, witnesses, and court staff
to be present in the courtroom, no criminal jury trials will occur before August
1, 2020.

All change of plea and sentencing hearings will be set for a date after July 5,
2020, unless the presiding judge deems an earlier setting appropriate. A
defendant and/or counsel may file a motion requesting an emergency hearing
stating (1) the reason(s) why an emergency setting is necessary; and
(2) whether the defendant, after consultation with counsel, consents to hold the
hearing by video teleconference or telephone. Counsel also shall notify the
courtroom deputy clerk by phone that an emergency motion has been filed.

Any time period of the continuances implemented by this Administrative
Order or other Orders of the Court due to the COVID-19 crisis will be excluded

Page 12 of 15
under the Speedy Trial Act, as the Court specifically finds that the ends of
justice—in terms of the nationally recognized public health dangers and
constitutional aspects of summoning a jury—served by the continuances
outweigh the best interests of the public and any defendant's right to a speedy
trial pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(A). All necessary Orders will be entered

in each case.

Deadlines in criminal cases, including motions, briefing, and discovery
deadlines, whether set by the Court, by the Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure, the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, or Local Rules, are not
impacted by this omnibus Order, except to the extent they are triggered by a
setting or deadline that has been continued or canceled. Motions for extension
of time, and all other motions in criminal cases will be entertained by the Court

as usual.

All probation and supervised release revocation hearings will be scheduled by
the presiding judge to a date on or after July 5, 2020, unless an earlier setting is
deemed appropriate. The defendant, defense counsel, the United States
Probation Office, or the United States Attorney’s Office may request an earlier
hearing.

“The authority to convene or discharge a grand jury is vested in the District
Court.” Korman v. United States, 486 F.2d 926, 933 (7th Cir. 1973) (rejecting
special grand jury witnesses’ challenge to district court’s extension of the term
of the grand jury pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3331(a)) (internal citation omitted). In
accordance with the Court's finding that it is not currently possible to safely
summon an adequate pool of petit jurors, the Court now finds that the same
unacceptable health risks mentioned above are also present with respect to
grand jurors, counsel, court staff, and witnesses meeting in the courthouse for
grand jury proceedings. This danger warrants delaying the currently
scheduled grand jury proceedings. All grand jury sessions in this district set
between the date of this Order and June 8, 2020, are SUSPENDED until further
Order of the Court. During the period of delay, the respective Grand Juries are
not in session as the term is used in 18 U.S.C. § 3161(b).

Court Assistance Program (“CAP”) meetings are canceled until further notice.

The Central Violations Bureau dockets in East St. Louis and Benton is
continued until September 2020. The monthly dockets will be reset
accordingly. Payments will continue to be processed electronically
(instructions appear on each citation).

Page 13 of 15
e Naturalization ceremonies will not be conducted between now and July 5,
2020. Ceremonies will be reset in coordination with the United States Customs
and Immigration Service, provided social distancing can be maintained. If an
individual meets the criteria set forth in 8 U.S.C. § 1448(c) as qualifying for the
expedited administration of the judicial oath, and if that individual is seeking
a name change pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1448(e), the Court will arrange for
naturalization of that individual by a judicial officer.

e All judges and counsel are encouraged to utilize videoconferencing and
teleconferencing to the extent possible to avoid unnecessary disruption in the
cases. The Court recognizes that it is impossible to cover all possible
contingencies and that the situation remains fluid. This Order is therefore
designed to give the presiding judicial officers flexibility to address issues as
they arise while implementing necessary safeguards.

e Announcements regarding any further restrictions to Court services will be
posted on the District Court’s public webpage https: / / www.ilsd.uscourts.gov,
and attorneys will receive updates and notices via the CM/ECF system.

VI. Bankruptcy Court Filings and Proceedings

All scheduled bankruptcy hearings, including emergency matters, will be held
telephonically, unless specially set by the presiding judge for an in-person hearing. The
Court will provide call in information to the parties prior to the hearing. For those
without access to CM/ECF, documents may be submitted by mail, or in the event of
emergency, may be submitted by email to: ilsbwebmaster@ilsb.uscourts.gov. All
emergency filings must include an email address and phone number where the filer may
be reached.

VII. Probation and Pretrial Services

The United States Probation and Pretrial Services Office will continue to

investigate and supervise individuals as ordered by the Court.

Page 14 of 15
VIII. Expiration of this Order

The Court will closely monitor the COVID-19 outbreak and any changes to the
guidance offered by the CDC and local public health officials and make necessary
adjustments in the interest of public health and administration of justice. The Court will
vacate or amend this Administrative Order no later than July 31, 2020.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated this 29t day of May, 2020.
