As you consider how best to resume operations during this public health crisis, we write to request that the Judicial Branch require plaintiffs in summary process actions for non-payment of rent and foreclosure actions to affirmatively plead compliance with the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, P.L. 116-136 (“CARES Act”), which became effective upon passage on March 27, 2020. We have attached a draft affidavit reflecting the CARES Act’s mandates that the Branch should require from such plaintiffs. Any cases that are filed in contravention of the federal CARES Act requirements should be dismissed sua sponte.
