Minnesota Shutdown: New Court Appeals Won't be Heard Until Tuesday

The Minnesota Judicial Center and the Ramsey County District Courthouse are closed until Tuesday, security officers at both facilities confirmed Saturday.

Rulings on the 22 petitions for funding heard on Friday—including the Minnesota Zoo, Minnesota Coalition of Battered Women, Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Canterbury Park—may come over the weekend but Special Master Kathleen Blatz will not hear any new appeals until after the Fourth of July weekend.

But nonprofit organizations seeking to join the queue are in luck, because petitions for funding will continue to be received and processed through the holiday weekend.

The Ramsey County Second District requests new petitioners looking to schedule a hearing before the Special Master to contact the Civil Division’s Christopher Channing via email or by calling 651-266-8260.
