General Division Tolling Order Filed 11-5-2026
SCAM ALERT: Scammers sometimes attempt to impersonate court officials and law enforcement to deceive people. Common scams include false claims that you missed jury duty and must make a payment to avoid arrest and fraudulent claims that a court case requires immediate payment. Please know that this Court does not order people to make payments unless there has either been a court hearing or unless people have had an opportunity to make a written submission for the Court to consider. If you are in doubt, call the Court to confirm.
