The Chief Judge issued an Order pursuant to pursuant to DC Code § 23-584(c)(1) that “this condition significantly impairs the functioning of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia” and therefore Metropolitan Police Department has allowed for a modification of citation release. Normally the Court would send notice but given that the Court Clerks are not fully staffed, you will need to check our website or DC Superior Court website for Court date changes.
So like the citation release people (see above) your case has been continued as well. You should go to the Court’s Website and type in Your Last and First Name and your case should come up. Check back to see it was updated.
