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. As of the date of this Order, the Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) reports over one million recorded cases

growing at a rate of over twenty-six thousand per day, and over sixty thousand five

hundred deaths growing at a rate of over two thousand five hundred per day. The

Governor of Illinois declared a disaster and entered a “stay-at-home” Executive Order

now in effect until May 31, 2020. The rate of contamination in the 38 counties comprising

this district has not yet peaked. 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 federal

courts generally.

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 contact with one another

(within about 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 April 24, 2020, it

cannot begin a phased reopening of the courthouses at this time, and it cannot apply the

recommended social distancing measures and simultaneously continue its operations in

Page 2 of 15

the usual way without endangering the health of defendants, 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 May 31, 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

United States Courts, all employees of the District Court are directed to telework until

May 31, 2020, except when directed by their supervisors to report to the courthouse to

perform essential functions. All District Court employees who, after consultation with

their supervisors, are deemed unable to telework or perform alternate duties, will be

placed on administrative leave.

II. Courthouse Closures and Restrictions

It is ORDERED that through May 31, 2020:

The federal courthouses in East St. Louis and Benton will be CLOSED to the

public, subject to exceptions allowing the Court to meet its constitutional duties

and handle emergencies related to public safety, public health and welfare, and

individual liberty. No members of the public, other than litigants with a

Page 3 of 15

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).

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

this courthouse:

¢ People with these symptoms or combinations of symptoms

within the last 14 days:

* Cough

e Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

Or at least two of these symptoms:

Fever

Chills

Muscle pain

Headache

Sore throat

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 any of 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.

Page 4 of 15

e Visitors are expected to perform hand hygiene at the point of entry, and

practice social distancing while in the courthouse.

e Visitors will be asked to leave if they do not follow these standards or

maintain social distancing as directed.

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

Page 5 of 15

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

measures and simultaneously continue its operations in the usual way 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, on its own motion, 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;

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

e Appearances under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 40;

Misdemeanor pleas and sentencings under Federal Rule of Criminal

Procedure 43(b)(2);

Page 6 of 15

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

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

Page 7 of 15

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

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. 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 that gatherings be limited to 10 or less. Courtroom

spectators are reminded that a stay-at-home order has been ordered throughout the State

of Illinois and 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

Page 8 of 15

teleconferencing and/or telephone conferencing may implicate that right. Nonetheless,

for the reasons set forth herein, the Court finds that these revised 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 US. 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

e Filings will 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.)

e As previously ordered, no civil jury trials will occur before May 31, 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.

All other civil matters, including bench trials, hearings, and settlement

conferences, scheduled between now and May 31, 2020, for an in-court

appearance before any district or magistrate judge in the East St. Louis or

Page 9 of 15

Benton courthouses are CONTINUED pending further Order of the Court.

Judges 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

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 further Order of the Court. 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

Page 10 of 15

suspended the service of process under this Order, the time for service under

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) is TOLLED until further Order of the

Court.

With regard to criminal matters before the Court, 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 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

May 31, 2020.

If any defendant and his/her counsel or the United States Attorney seeks an

immediate in-person hearing before a magistrate judge before May 31, 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 May 31, 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 May 31, 2020. A transfer to a facility with established videoconferencing

Page 11 of 15

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. Initial appearances, arraignments,

detention hearings, and proceedings where in-person 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 currently set criminal matters during this period, judges shall

have sole discretion to determine what proceedings are essential and should

go forward, or 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.

For 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 May 31,

2020.

All change of plea and sentencing hearings scheduled to begin on or before

May 31, 2020, are continued generally and will be reset by the presiding judge

Page 12 of 15

to a date on or after June 1, 2020. If an earlier hearing is justified for any reason,

the 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 will be excluded 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 scheduled for on or

before May 31, 2020, are CONTINUED and will be rescheduled by the

presiding judge to a date on or after June 1, 2020, unless the defendant, defense

counsel, the United States Probation Office, or the United States Attorney’s

Office notifies the presiding judge that the hearing is necessary before June 1,

2020.

“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. Indeed, given that both the Court itself and

Page 13 of 15

the United States Attorney’s Office are adhering to the warnings of national,

state, and local health officials for our respective employees to telework and

remain at home if at all possible, adherence to those warnings on behalf of

grand jurors is equally essential. 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).

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

e The Central Violations Bureau docket in East St. Louis and Benton is continued

until further Order of the Court. Payments will continue to be processed

electronically (instructions appear on each citation).

e Naturalization ceremonies will not be conducted between now and June 4,

2020, when the United States Customs and Immigration Service resumes

operations. 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. 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

Page 14 of 15

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.

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 May 31, 2020.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated this 12‘ day of May, 2020.
