CLOSURE OF MIAMI, FORT LAUDERDALE, WEST PALM BEACH, FORT PIERCE AND KEY WEST FEDERAL COURTHOUSES, INCLUDING BANKRUPTCY AND PROBATION, ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2020

During inclement weather periods, the safety of the public and Court personnel is always a priority. In the event of hazardous weather conditions, including hurricanes and tropical storms, the policy of the Southern District of Florida is to close federal courthouses when the local public schools within a particular county close.  In light of the announced closures of public schools in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, St. Lucie and Monroe Counties, the federal courthouses in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Fort Pierce and Key West will be closed on Monday, November 9, 2020.  A closure in any division includes the Bankruptcy Court and Probation, if any, in that Division.  The courthouses will reopen when public schools in those counties reopen or until further order of Chief United States District Judge K. Michael Moore. In the event of an emergency, information about the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida can be obtained from the following sources:

- The Court’s website: www.flsd.uscourts.gov

- Recorded telephone messages at each courthouse

- Broadcast messages sent to CM/ECF e-filers

- Television announcements

Please note that if the Court’s website is unavailable, the Administrative Office of the US Courts will post emergency messages on behalf of the Court on its website: www.uscourts.gov
