UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF MAINE

GENERAL ORDER ESTABLISHING 2024 HOLIDAY SCHEDULE

Federal law establishes holidays for federal employees, on which days the offices of the United 
States District Court for the District of Maine are closed. The Administrative Office of the U.S. 
Courts authorizes Chief United States District Judges to designate additional days as office 
holidays, thereby excusing absences on the part of their respective district’s employees.
This year, in extended observance of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, court offices will be 
closed on November 28 and 29 and December 24 and 25. Though closed, the Clerk’s Office is available 
to facilitate emergency filings. Emergency contact information is available on the Court’s website. 
The Court’s electronic case filing system will remain available to registered users.

Dated this 30th day of October, 2024.

Chief U.S. District Judge
