THE BUSINESS OF THE COURT During the October 2019 Term of the Court, for the period from October 1, 2019, to September 30, 2020, the Court heard cases with a full complement of five currently appointed Judges. Judge Margaret A. Ryan completed her term on July 31, 2020, reducing the Court to a quorum of four currently appointed Judges from August 1, 2020, to September 30, 2020, and beyond. Pursuant to public health guidance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Court rescheduled oral arguments originally set for hearing in April to June of 2020. The rescheduled hearings were held telephonically. Recordings from these hearings are available on the Court's website, consistent with in-person hearings. Through the end of the Term of Court, the Court continued to monitor federal and local responses to the pandemic, adjusting safety protocols for Court personnel, requiring masks in the courthouse, reconfiguring work spaces for social distancing, and upgrading numerous amenities to enable proper sanitization with minimal contact. Overnight June 1-2, 2020, during a wave of social justice protests in the District of Columbia, the courthouse received considerable damage in the form of broken windows and spray paint. The last of this damage was repaired on September 17, 2020. The Court wishes to express its gratitude for the outstanding support received from the Chief Management Officer of the Department of Defense, the Director of Washington Headquarters Services and the Pentagon Force Protection Agency. 1
