Eastern District of Wisconsin

On April 10, 2023, the President signed a congressional resolution bringing to a close the national emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Under Sections 15002 (a) and (b)(5) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), the court’s authorization to use video or teleconferencing technologies for any hearings other than those authorized by the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure will expire on Wednesday, May 10, 2023. In criminal cases, this means that after May 10, 2023, the court no longer will have the authority to hold a variety of criminal hearings—including revocation, plea and sentencing hearings—by videoconference. For information about types of hearings that still may be conducted by videoconference (with the defendant’s consent made after advice from counsel) after May 10, 2023, see Fed. R. Crim. P. 5(g), 10(c), 40(d), 43(b)(2) and 53.
