Federal courts have funding to last another week despite shutdown
BY LYDIA WHEELER - 01/15/19 06:00 PM EST
The federal courts are expected to remain fully operational for another week despite the partial government shutdown.
The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, an agency within the judicial branch that supports federal courts, estimated Tuesday that it has enough money to sustain paid operations through Jan. 25 – two weeks longer than originally expected after the partial shutdown began.
The agency first estimated they would be forced to cut back on staff starting Jan. 11, but then extended that deadline to Jan. 18. The money has been coming from court fee balances and other funds not dependent on a new appropriation bill.

Don’t count your chickens too fast. One of Ozero’s pets in NY ruled citizenship can’t be asked in 2020 Census.
