Most if not all of the building will be without electrical power commencing Friday evening June 22. Power will not be restored until sometime Sunday, the 24th, late afternoon or early evening.

E-Filing, CM/ECF, will be removed from service Friday afternoon, the 22nd, at 4:00 PM CT and will be unavailable for the duration of power outage. Please exit the system no later than 4:00 PM CT.

During the outage our replica site will provide case information for reference purposes only, no docketing, no updates. The court's normal Website will be unavailable during this outage.

We apologize for this serious inconvenience.
