COMPTON (CNS) - The Compton Courthouse, which was closed for more than a week in early January due to a burst pipe, was shuttered again Monday because of another pipe break that occurred over the weekend.

According to Los Angeles Superior Court officials, the latest pipe issue occurred over the weekend, "resulting in a flood which has left the courthouse's public elevators, stairwells, jury room and much of the lobby inaccessible."
"... The court is in the process of working with partners at the Judicial Council of California, who own and operate the facility, to assess the damage and obtain an estimate of when the courthouse will reopen."
All "imperative" and in-custody matters that were scheduled at the building are being transferred to another courthouse, but all other matters are being rescheduled.
Court staff were stationed outside the building Monday morning to assist and direct people arriving at the courthouse. People with cases on calendar Monday will be notified of new hearing dates and locations. People can also call 310-761-4300 for case information.
