All judges and staff will continue to preside in the courtroomand/or court facilities.The circumstances necessitating this Request include the following:a.The continued use of ACT in Gagnon I and Gagnon II hearings, GuiltyPlea Hearings, Sentencing Hearings, Post-Conviction Relief Act hearings,Post Sentence Motion Hearings, Bench Warrant Hearings, Bail Hearings,Extradition Hearings, and Arraignments is necessary during the COVID-19Court Notices continues on 26

The availability of ACT as an alternativeto conducting in-person proceedings in the above matters allows the FirstJudicial District to limit the number of people in the courtroom to preventthe spread of COVID-19 and increase the availability of lawyers to handlemultiple matters across multiple courtrooms both in Philadelphia and othercounties. All judges and staff will continue to preside in the courtroom andcourt facilities.b.c.d.e.f.g.h.i.While the number of positive cases has decreased in the past month, asof March 21, 2022, an average of new cases of COVID-19 per day werereported over the last two weeks was 59. That number does not includeresults from take home tests. As of March 7, 2022, the City of Philadelphia and Philadelphia Department of Health lifted the mask mandate forCity Buildings for vaccinated employees and visitors. Despite the continuation of mandatory mask wearing regardless of vaccination status at allcourt facilities and the implementation of a vaccine mandate for employeesthe First Judicial District’s number of positive cases has not reached zero.The Department of Health has advised that certain settings, such as publictransit and healthcare facilities are higher risk. Masks are still required incourtrooms. The use of ACT for Gagnon I and Gagnon II hearings, GuiltyPlea Hearings, Sentencing Hearings, Post Conviction Relief Act hearings,Post Sentence Motion Hearings, Bench Warrant Hearings, Bail Hearings,Extradition Hearings, and Arraignments prevents the congregation of largenumbers of people which would result in a higher risk setting without having a negative impact on processing rates. In fact, as of March 22, 2022, theCriminal Trial Division is at pre-pandemic processing rates, and, in manytypes of cases, is processing them more quickly and more efficiently thanpre-pandemic. For example, the wait time for a nonjury trial is significantlyless than it was before the pandemic, and the wait time for a jury trial is thesame as pre-pandemic. The Criminal Trail Division has accomplished theserates while maintaining the safety of litigants. There have been zero knownCovid-19 transmissions during criminal proceedings.Due in part to the pandemic-induced delays, the Philadelphia Departmentof Prisons continues to experience the need to quarantine prisoners whohave tested positive or are suspected positive cases. All quarantined inmatesare unavailable for court.In-person court proceedings for any COVID-19 positive or quarantineddefendant cannot be held and must be continued, placing further strain onthe court’s efficiency, and necessitating the use of ACT for timely hearings.The use of ACT allows the First Judicial District to continue to processmatters safely, fairly, and expeditiously, especially for Defendants incarcerated in Philadelphia and out-of-county facilities. The Department of Corrections only recently resumed transportation of inmates pursuant to ACT 82,which enables the transportation of inmates from state correctional institutions to Philadelphia. In addition, transportation of inmates in other counties has not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels. The Criminal Trail Division requires that all incarcerated Defendant and incarcerated witnesses betested for COVID-19 prior to being transported to the Stout Center forCriminal Justice. As a result, if an incarcerated person refuses the COVD19 test, he or she will not be transported to the Stout Center. In casesinvolving Co-Defendants and material witnesses, such delays not caused bythe principal Defendant are extremely problematic. The use of ACT willenable the resolution of matters in which Defendants, Co-Defendant and/or material witnesses are incarcerated avoid delay in the resolution of allmatters and allow time for the court to effectively and efficiently continuethe expansion of operations in conjunction with all criminal justice partners.The use of ACT has enabled the Court to a steadily increase dispositionrates despite continued social distancing mandates. Without the continueduse of ACT, disposition rates will be negatively impacted. The number ofdispositions increased from 240 in January of 2021 to 992 in February of2022During the pandemic, the First Judicial District remained operational andhas continued to expand operations. The 31 Judges assigned to the TrialDivision-Criminal Section are all working from the courthouse daily, assigned to one of four programs: Homicide, Major Felony, Felony Waiver,or SMART/Specialty programs. Between March 1, 2021, and February 28,2022, there have been approximately 8,469 dispositions made by criminaljudges, an average of 705 per month.In June 2021, in an effort to expedite custody cases, the First Judicial District developed the Case Accelerated Resolution Program (“CARP”); a pilotprogram designed to accelerate the resolution of cases awaiting trial in theMajor Felony Program. All judges assigned to the Major Felony Programwere reassigned to jury and non-jury categories. All custody cases listed inthe Major Felony Program were then listed for status conferences to determine whether the matter could proceed as a jury or non-jury trial. Theuse of ACT enabled the court to conduct 900 status conferences (and manyof the resulting guilty pleas) in a 3-week period. As a result, the number ofcustody cases awaiting jury trial in the Majors Felony Program was reducedfrom 886 to 456 between June 1, 2021 and July 14, 2021, a reduction of49%.The CARP program was expanding to include bail matters listed for trial inthe Major Felony Program. Each bail matter awaiting a trial date (approxi-j.The First Judicial District also conducted case conferencing hearings between July 26, 2021, and August 6, 2021 of approximately 270 custody casesawaiting trial in the Felony Waiver Program, 24% of the total cases in theprogram. The use of ACT permits defendants in local and out-of-countyfacilities to efficiently and expeditiously enter guilty pleas to resolve openmatters.k.In addition, since September 2020 in midst of the pandemic, and despitethe suspension of jury trials from November 2020 through February 2021the First Judicial District has selected jury panels in 136 criminal trials. Asof March 14, 2022, the Criminal Trial Division doubled the number of jurytrials from four to eight per week. Due to the small courtroom size, it isnecessary to use two courtrooms per jury trial to provide participants themeans to safely social distance. One courtroom is used to conduct the trial,with some jurors in the gallery. A second courtroom is set aside for publicaccess viewing via live stream. Further, due to social distancing, jury selection is limited to two criminal jury per day. In light of the constraints of theabove safety procedures, the First Judicial District can safely conduct onlyeight jury trials per week. For our system to work, we are dependent on thepublic response to the call to serve as jurors. We have been successful inthe expansion of our jury operation because we have established safe andreasonable protocols for our jurors and the conduct of trial.l.The continued use of ACT in Gagnon I and Gagnon II hearings, GuiltyPlea Hearings, Sentencing Hearings, Post Conviction Relief Act hearings,Post Sentence Motion Hearings, Bench Warrant Hearings, Bail Hearings,Extradition Hearings, and Arraignments is necessary during the continuedthreat of a COVID-19 surge in Philadelphia County. The availability ofACT as an alternative to conducting in-person proceedings in the abovematters allows the First Judicial District to limit the number of people inthe courtroom to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and increase the availability of lawyers to handle multiple matters across multiple courtroomsboth in Philadelphia and other counties. All judges and staff will continue topreside in the courtroom and court facilities.m.The use of ACT has been favorably received by our justice partners in thatit has proven efficient and effective in allowing the courts of the First Judicial District to move criminal matters through the system. The continueduse of ACT will allow for further prompt resolution of cases.n.The continued temporary use of ACT is a tool that should remain availableas necessary for the First Judicial District given the uncertainties of theduration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic.3.All of the judges assigned to the criminal division are in the courthouse and in theircourtroom whether conducing live or remote hearings. The use of ACT has allowedjudges to handle a more diverse and increased list.4.All of these foregoing factors necessitate the continued utilization of the above measures, which have enabled the First Judicial District to conduct and resume judicialproceedings consistent with the Supreme Court orders issued from time to time atNos. 531 and 532 Judicial Administration Docket, including Orders issued on April28, 2021, May 27, 2021, June 21, 202, July 2, 2021, October 1, 2021, October 29, 2021,December 2, 2021, January 7, 2022, and February 14, 2022. All ACT proceedings willbe originated and operated from the Courtroom, with Judge and staff present.5.Notice of this request for the temporary suspension or modification of statewide ruleshas been or will be:a.b.c.d.6.Posted on the court’s website;Distributed to the Philadelphia Bar Association for further distribution;Submitted to the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts for publicationpursuant to Rule of Judicial Administration No. 1952(C)(5); andPublished in The Legal Intelligencer, the legal publication designated by the courtfor publication of legal notices.Interested parties are advised that objections to any emergency judicial order issuedby the Supreme Court should be transmitted to the Supreme Court Prothonotary.3/29/22/s/ IDEE C.
