Due to the anticipation of severe storms sweeping into the area, Oklahoma City Municipal Court is taking a precautionary measure by canceling all of its Monday morning sessions scheduled for Nov. 18. Presiding Judge Philippa C. James announced the decision, emphasizing that safety remains a paramount concern. However, despite the tempestuous forecast, the court expects to resume normal operations by noon, with afternoon sessions proceeding as scheduled, according to the City of Oklahoma City.
Those individuals with cases originally set for the turbulent morning hours need not fret over rescheduling. Judge James has granted a special provision, allowing for continuances to be made without the usual continuance fee, provided that the defendant or their attorney makes such a request. This information is confirmed by an official statement from the City of Oklahoma City website. Defendants will also receive notifications concerning their new court dates, ensuring that none are left out of the legal loop.
For those concerned about court-related payments amidst the storm's disruption, Oklahoma City Municipal Court has made arrangements to accommodate such transactions. Payments can promptly be handled either through a phone call to (405) 297-3898 or by taking advantage of the online option at City of Oklahoma City official website.
