WILKES-BARRE — It will be at least another month before court proceedings begin again in the Luzerne County Courthouse, based on an order from President Judge Michael T. Vough this morning.

The announcement comes simultaneously with an announcement that Commonwealth Court would begin live-streaming court proceedings for the first time in state history.

Vough’s order comes as another extension of one signed in late March, in which postponed a majority of court proceedings until at least the end of April, due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.

Now, as of Monday, proceedings are once again postponed until at least May 31. This marks the second time the postponement was once again moved forward, with the original order postponing hearings until April 14.

As per the previously-issued order, the court is only holding hearings that are deemed to impact the “health, safety, security, welfare or incarceration of an individual.”

The following hearings will continue: Protection from Abuse hearings; bail postings; preliminary arraignments; lift warrant hearings; civil injunction proceedings; mental health proceedings; guardianships; Gagnon I hearings for incarcerated defendants, which will be held through video conference; specialty court proceedings.

All other hearings, including jury trials, are suspended until at least May 31.

Meanwhile, another announcement from Commonwealth Court would live-stream a hearing for the first time ever on Tuesday.

The hearing, held before the Honorable Kevin Brobson, is in a case between the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board and three other companies — MFW Wine Co., A6 Wine Company and Bloomsday Café — who are seeking to compel the PLCB to create a procedure for special liquor orders to be delivered by vendors directly to customers, instead of requiring the goods to be first transported to a state store.

That hearing will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday on YouTube.
