A cyberattack on the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office is still disrupting the Orleans Parish Civil District Court’s ability to handle some pleadings, and there is no timeline yet on a resolution, a court spokesperson said Friday evening.
The civil system has been down since Sept. 4, leaving the court unable to confirm whether defendants have been properly served, Public Information Officer Walt Pierce said in a news release.
But as of Saturday morning, Docket Master, an online repository of Orleans Parish Criminal District Court records, was back online.
"We recognize that there may be additional limitations or impacts that arise as we navigate this situation, and we are awaiting further clarification from the Sheriff’s Office regarding a timeline for resolution," the release said.
