Chattooga County State Court Judge Jon Dennis says that State Court will resume at the courthouse annex on Monday.

Judge Dennis says no more than 14 people will be allowed inside the courtroom at one time. That courtroom is in the Annex–the same building where tags are bought and taxes are paid–that is, where State Court is normally held, and it is not in the main courtroom, where we held court last month.

Dennis says, “I ask your indulgence and your consideration as many may have to wait outside and enter in shifts. (Maintain social distancing whether inside or outside.) If you are a defendant appearing for arraignment, you are not to bring friends or relatives. We ask that you come alone.

Before entering, all persons will have their temperatures taken and will be given a mask. This mask will be worn properly (covering both nose and mouth) at all times while inside the courthouse.

Dennis said, “Please be advised that my goal is to keep all our citizens safe and healthy. We had a good session last month. We hope to have another good two days, on Monday and Tuesday. I thank you in advance for all your help and for your understanding.”
