Due to the approach of Tropical Storm Hagibis which is projected to intensify and possibly develop into a typhoon before hitting the Northern Mariana Islands, it is hereby ordered that the District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands will be closed on Monday, October 7, 2019 and will reopen at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, October 8, 2019, unless otherwise ordered. The island of Saipan is currently in Tropical Storm Condition II, which means damaging winds of 39-73 mph are expected within twenty- four hours. Saipan is also on a typhoon watch, which means destructive winds of 74 mph or more are possible within 24 hours, around Monday afternoon.
The CM/ECF electronic filing system will remain online, unaffected by this weather closure.
