In addition, the Governor of New York has banned mass gatherings in the state, encouraged persons in the state to remain at home and to limit personal contact, and ordered the closure of non-essential businesses, among other steps taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Chief Judge Mauskopf, acting pursuant to § 15002(b) of the CARES Act and the authority granted by the Judicial Conference of the United States, has made the findings in the referenced Administrative Order, effective for 90 days unless terminated sooner.

Administrative Order 2020-14

In response to the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic, counsel for defendants detained at three facilities have filed and continue to file applications for release in individual cases pending in this District. A primary basis cited in each of these applications is the general risk of contracting COVID-19 as a result of the defendant’s continued confinement, together with additional information specific to the particular defendant and case. Defendants in cases pending in this District are primarily detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn (MDC Brooklyn) and the Metropolitan Correctional Center New York (MCC New York), both operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), and the Queens Detention Facility (QDF), a private facility operated by the GEO Group, Inc. under contract with the United States Marshals Service (USMS) to house primarily pre-trial detainees.

This Administrative Order provides the Judges of this Court and the parties in these cases with current, consistent, and accurate information to assess the common issue underlying these applications. Please see the Order for detailed information.
