Last week, Chief Judge Philip Brimer of the US District Court for the District of Colorado continued all criminal and civil jury trials scheduled to commence before January 8, 2021. Judge Brimer also suspended all grand jury proceedings and canceled all public gatherings in the courthouse. The order reported that “key indicators from the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, including positivity rates, the number of hospitalizations and cumulative incidences per 100,000 people, demonstrate a significant increase in the rate of COVID-19 infections in many parts of the District of Colorado.”
