IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA

IN RE: TERMINATION OF POLICY ON

MASKING AND COURTHOUSE GENERAL ORDER NO. 2023-04
ENTRY DUE TO COVID-19

On August 18, 2022, the Court issued General Order Number 2022-09, which
required, among other things, that all persons in a federal courthouse in Nebraska wear a
mask in public spaces in the courthouse when COVID-19 Community Levels are “high”
based on the CDC’s COVID-19 County Check.

In light of improved COVID-19 conditions and in consultation with the judges of

the Court, General Order No. 2022-09, is hereby rescinded.

Nothing in this General Order prevents a presiding judge in a court proceeding

from directing or permitting the use or removal of masks by participants in that
proceeding.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated this 10th day of May 2023.

BY THE COURT:

Robert F. Rossiter, Jr.

Chief United States District Judge
