Third Circuit Chief Judge Robert Kim on Thursday issued a pair of orders concerning Hawaii Island courts — one further suspending commencement of jury trials, the other further suspending the convening of grand juries until Nov. 16.

The suspension of jury trials follows an order issued Wednesday by Chief Justice Mark Recktenwald extending the suspension of jury trials from today, Oct.. 4, to Nov. 16.

Both jury trials and the grand jury were previously set to resume on the Big Island today.
