Power Outage Forces Shutdown Of OC Courthouse

ORANGE COUNTY, CA — For the second time in a week, a power outage has forced the shutdown of the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana.

A power outage last Thursday forced a shutdown for the morning, but the state courthouse was able to reopen in the afternoon. Intermittent power outages on Tuesday led officials to close the building to public access for the afternoon "out of an abundance of caution," according to courts Public Information Officer Kostas Kalaitzidis.

Anyone with business at the courthouse may check the court system's website for further instructions at occourts.org.

Southern California Edison officials did not immediately have information about an outage in the area.
