During the partial shutdown of the federal government, which began Dec. 22, 2018, the Judiciary has continued to operate by using court fee balances and other “no-year”funds. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts now estimates that federal courts can sustain funded operations through Jan. 25, 2019.

If existing funds run out and new appropriated funds do not become available, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Wisconsin will remain open and continue operations during the shutdown. All proceedings and deadlines remain in effect as scheduled unless otherwise advised. The electronic filing system, CM/ECF, will remain in operation for the electronic filing of documents with the Court.

If you have any questions, please contact the Clerk's Office at (608) 264-5178 or (715) 839-2980.
