United States Court of Appeals for the Federal C

United States Court of Appeals
for the Federal Circuit ______________________
PER CURIAM.
O R D E R
Since December 22, 2018, a portion of the United States
government has been in shutdown status due to a lapse in
appropriations. Until further order of the court or the
enactment of a new appropriation or a continued resolution
funding the operations of the court, the following is hereby
ORDERED:
1. The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit will remain open and operational with
sufficient staff necessary to perform all functions
necessary to support the exercise of the judicial
power in the resolution of cases under Article III of
the United States Constitution.
2. Absent a grant of either a motion for extension of
time or a motion to stay in a particular case, all court
filing deadlines remain in effect. The court’s
electronic filing system (CM/ECF) will remain in
operation for the electronic filing of all documents.
Paper filings will continue to be accepted by mail
and in person.
3. Oral arguments will continue to be heard as
scheduled. Counsel should not anticipate that any
case will be removed from an argument calendar due
to the partial government shutdown. Any motion
filed in a particular case requesting rescheduling of
an argument will be transmitted to the panel
assigned to hear the case.
