COVID-19 Closes Bryan County Courthouse

It's been awhile since we had to do this, but it wouldn't be 2020 if we didn't say at least a couple of times "here we go again."  A positive case in the Bryan County Courthouse staff led Judge Campbell to issue AO-2020-50 late on August 19, closing the courthouse to all but persons involved with criminal cases where the defendant is in jail for Thursday and Friday, August 20 and 21. Any other case will be moved. Specifically, the misdemeanor disposition docket set at 9:00 a.m. is reset for September 1, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. For any other case, you should contact your attorney (if you have one) to find out when your case is being reset. If you don't have one, AND ONLY IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE, then contact the Court Clerk's office over the next couple of days to see if they have a new court date yet.  SINCE THIS HAPPENED AT THE END OF THE DAY ON AUGUST 19, THEY PROBABLY WON'T HAVE YOUR NEW DATE AT 8:00 A.M. ON AUGUST 20, so use some common sense.
