Impact of Federal Government Shut Down on the Eastern District of MI - USDC

[cmecfadmin@mied.uscourts.gov]

					Dear Haytham Faraj,
					
					During the first two weeks of a shutdown of the Federal Government, we do not 
anticipate any significant impact on court operations or services in the 
Eastern District of Michigan.  The Federal Judiciary has fee generated and 
other non-appropriated funds that will allow it to temporarily fund all court 
operations.  In the event a shutdown lasts longer than two weeks, court 
operations and services may be severely impacted.  Additional information will 
be provided if a lengthy shutdown occurs.  The Bar and public should continue 
to monitor the Courtâs website at http://www.mied.uscourts.gov where updates 
will be posted as needed.  

To reiterate, in the event of a general shutdown of the Federal Government, 
there will be no immediate change in Court hours or services unless otherwise 
noted.

Please visit the attached link for the official national news release from the 
Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts website regarding a government 
shutdown.
