“Slow and gradual”

UPDATE IIMonica Hofheinz email to all SAO Units at 4:11 PM:

Today a meeting was held with the Chief Judge and other Courthouse stakeholders. It was determined, based on the downward trend of COVID-19 stats that our court system is getting closer to moving into Phase II and we will begin transitioning over the next few weeks and into October.

Phase II – limited in-person contact is authorized for certain purposes and/or requires use of protected measures.

The courthouse will not be opening to the full public or jurors just yet and virtual hearings will continue. Some measures are being installed in the courtrooms for phase II testing purposes.

Two Zortemp 1000 full body scanners with option for foreheads or wrists will be installed and tested at the West Courthouse entrance. Handheld scanners will be used at the 3rd floor rotunda entrance and Regional Courthouse entrances.

For SAO staff, we may be instituting the use of handheld no-contact thermometers at a future date.

We are beginning to bring back several support staff to work in the building with alternating schedules as the work on cases and mail has increased. Maintaining our alternating schedule will help with our social distancing. Everyone is still required to wear their mask, maintain 6 feet apart and not gather in groups.

The elevators are still a problem which has not been resolved.

The next meeting and update will be sometime early October. Stay vigilant and safe everyone.

UPDATE I – Response to a PRR requesting Supreme Court/17th Circuit recent operational plans, received at 4:05 PM:

The Office of the State Courts Administrator has concluded the operational plans in its possession are confidential and exempt, as explained below. That said, the 17th Circuit has its administrative orders about operational and due process procedures available on its website: http://www.17th.flcourts.org/coronavirus-covid-19-updates/

The base operational plan provided to the OSCA is also on its website. You can find the link in the attached document.

In regard to operation plans held by the OSCA: A judicial circuit’s operational plan is a record containing information that directly relates to the physical security of property owned or leased by the state. All such records, including portions thereof, are confidential and exempt from public access pursuant to Rules 2.420(c)(7), and (8), Florida Rules of Judicial Administration, and sections 119.071(3)(a), and 281.301, Florida Statutes, and as such will not be released by the Office of State Courts Administrator.

Original JAABLOG post at 2:40PM

Firm reopening dates have apparently not been set following today’s stakeholders’ meeting, with a concern expressed over other circuits having reversed course back to Phase I after attempting aggressive Phase II implementation. The PDO and SAO are also said to be in agreement with a slow and gradual reopening plan, specifics of which could be announced after Supreme Court review of a recently submitted 17th circuit proposal. We’re chasing that plan down at this time, but we’re told November or mid-November may still be the operative dates …

      Nikolas Cruz won’t be going to trial for at least 2 more years. Judge Scherer is not doing any work at all right now and will not do anything, and I mean anything until the middle of next year. Her JA is resetting EVERYTHING. Must be nice. So Satz can sit around for a couple of years and keep collecting a paycheck courtesy of the Broward County taxpayers. Broward County, What a disgusting Joke.

        maybe if Satz had put a ride along prosecutor when BSO responded to his house several time this whole massacre could have been avoided. Sats is a lazy Jew coward who is out to protect his ass in this massacre. IMO he facilitated the massacre by not being pro active . Plead him out to life without parole and make sure is is sent to a prison where there are a few good lifers in general population. save the families the anguish of a trial. and make sure Satz is run out of town the coward that he is.

    1st, pedigree is important. No St Thomas, sorry. Nova rules.
    2nd, no JQC complaints. Sorry, the other half of the 17 is now out.
    Next, publishing is important. If no articles in the BCBA Barrister, so sorry. Your’e fired.
    That leaves nepotism. Ah, Broward. If not related to anyone on SCOTUS, forget it.
    That leaves a few potential qualifieds from the 441 corridor. All they have to do is wait until so conveniently the diversity pick is 86’d on a technicality (that also destroys all qualified minority applicants from making it) and then Broward can boast a Justice.

      Satz was a soldier for Broward since the 1970s. He’s run a very independent office. This is his SuperBowl & we need the death penalty here. Not rehab. He has a A) mandate from the populace B) conscience & needs to finish this one. Any real lawyer can understand finishing an important case. He’s making peanuts.

    You would have had to pull the old hag off the bench kicking and screaming if death hadn’t taken her first. Too bad. She’s left the country in a tough spot just to stick it out to the end.
    For her own selfish ends she’s handed it to the far right.
    There should be term limits on these justices along with every other politician in Washington.
    Two terms and you pry them off the public tit for good. Then they have to get a real job.

      These term limit ideas may be an option at the national level. Those people are employable after leaving national office. They’ve got valuable contacts. Plus they’re typically a cut above. Smart etc. At the local level term limits won’t fly. Those people aren’t employable at all. It’s why they have time to either run for office or grease up an appointment. They don’t have businesses to run. It’s why they typically go from one political or government job to another. They don’t add any value. Few of them go any higher on the political totem pole and that’s testament to why they cling to low level jobs for life like a financial lifeboat in a sinking ship. Since they’re all mostly in the same boat they’re never going to pass term limits. Only pay raises. Term limiting is fine in theory but asking them to force themselves to stand up on their own feet is a pipe dream.

    The Scum Sentinel has become a joke at best, a sad politically motivated rag of a paper at worst. Bad reporting and an editorial staff comprised of morons compete to see just how many readers they can lose in the least amount of time.

      I was really disappointed when I looked to the Sun Sentinel this election for their recommendations.
      For one of the judges they wrote that they liked her because “she tends to answer questions with an old school charm by saying yes ma’am and no sir”

      no joke – that was the reason they gave as to why they endorsed her! It’s all because of that old cow and her husband who took over the editorial staff ..now nobody will even take that rag for free

        There was a time when print media mattered, taxi cabs were called, papers were delivered, calling people collect was a thing, and you needed a phone book to dial someone.

        There was also a time when a Sun Sentinel endorsement mattered.

        But don’t you worry, much like YAA, Tribune can’t make rent either.

        “Tribune Publishing – which owns multiple newspapers around the country including the Chicago Tribune, the Baltimore Sun and the South Florida Sun Sentinel – had earlier noted in a June SEC filing that it was withholding rent payments for a “majority of its facilities” amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.”

Biden slams Trump for not handling the virus correctly but have we heard one word about what he would have done more or differently? Biden is using uneducated black people to get himself elected and nothing more. If he is so concerned about the blacks then why as a 47 year politician has he not done one thing to help them? Wake up Black America and realize you are being used. Just like the virus he has no better plans for you.
