UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MAINE

GENERAL ORDER ESTABLISHING 2026 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 Christmas and New Year holidays, court offices will be closed on December 24 and December 31, as well as the federal holidays on December 25 and January 1. 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 7th day of July, 2026.
/s/ Lance E. Walker Chief U.S. District Judge
