The orders extend several existing emergency directives, extend the time for filing a notice of appeal, stay all pending evictions and create a mediation program for evictions. Chief Justice Beasley’s order extends the deadline for filing a notice of appeal to June 30, 2020, for any case in which the deadline for appeal fell between March 16 and June 1, 2020.
