Cuomo says he has asked Chief Judge Janet DiFiore to come up with a plan.
New York’s court system is postponing all “nonessential” services as officials move to slow a growing coronavirus outbreak that as of Monday had infected at least 950 people across the state.
Chief Administrative Judge Lawrence Marks announced the plan’s specifics in a Sunday memorandum addressed to court employees. The postponements were set to begin at 5 p.m. Monday.
All eviction proceedings and pending eviction orders will be suspended statewide, according to the memorandum, and felony matters where the defendant is not in custody will be “administratively adjourned” until further notice.
