Humboldt Superior Court closed to the public from March 17 to March 20

Due to the public health crisis related to the coronavirus (COVID-19), and state of emergency declared by the State of California and the County of Humboldt, pending approval of the Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court, Tani Cantil-Sakauye, the Humboldt Superior Court will be closed from Tuesday, March 17, 2020, through Friday, March, 20, 2020.

Beginning Monday, March 23, 2020, and continuing for at least thirty (30) days thereafter, and possibly until the end of the state of emergency, the Court will conduct limited hearings and limited Court operations.

Additional information will follow in the next few days, but please be advised that the Humboldt Superior Court is not planning on being open to the public tomorrow,  March 17, 2020, through Friday, March 20, 2020.

I checked with Humboldt Superior Court CEO Kim Bartleson about covering court hearings. She told me, "An additional press release will be sent out later in the week.  The court will not be conducting hearings during the closure."
