COURT OPERATIONS DURING POSSIBLE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

Friday, September 29, 2023

In the event of a shutdown of the federal government beginning on October 1, 2023, the Judiciary will remain open. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Louisiana will open for regular business hours at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, October 2nd, and continue all operations, case-related functions, and hearings until further notice. In cases that involve government attorneys not deemed “excepted” employees during the shutdown, those attorneys may request a continuance of scheduled hearings or an extension of applicable deadlines.
