The Supreme Court and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts have decided to follow the lead of the Executive Branch to honor the memory of former President George H.W. Bush. On Wednesday, December 5, the Supreme Court will be in recess, and the Administrative Office will be closed.

The physical offices of the U.S. District Clerk’s Office will also be closed. ECF will be available all day, and the Clerk’s Office will respond to requests for assistance made by phone or through the website. Anyone with a court setting must follow the directives of the presiding judge.
