The Puerto Rico Judiciary's Unified Case Management System (SUMAC) and Integrated Notarial System (SIGNO) will be unavailable from midnight on Thursday, November 19, through the end of Sunday, November 22, under maintenance the courts have scheduled for their electronic tools. [1][2][3] Courts administrator Sigfrido Steidel Figueroa has described the work as routine maintenance planned in advance, unrelated to the recent disruption that has affected some Microsoft services. [4][5] During the outage, the Tribunal Electrónico will accept only protection-order requests and petitions for remedies under the Mental Health Act. [6] Those filings can also be made in person at the investigation rooms in Aguadilla, Bayamón, Mayagüez, Ponce and San Juan during weekend and holiday service hours, and anyone needing an urgent municipal judge outside service hours should go to the nearest police station. [7][8][9] All electronic tools are expected to be restored on Monday, November 23, and the judiciary is advising the legal community to complete any pending transactions before the work begins. [10][11]
