Court proceedings require gatherings of court staff, litigants, attorneys, witnesses, and juries, well in excess of the numbers allowed for gathering under current executive and health orders.... the closure of schools means that many court employees, litigants, witnesses, and potential jurors cannot leave their homes to attend court proceedings because they must stay home to supervise their children.... I find good cause to order that: 1. All jury trials are suspended and continued for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of this order.... 2. The time period provided in Penal Code section 1382 for the holding of a criminal trial is extended for a period of sixty (60) days... 3.
