The U.S. Bankruptcy Court office in Modesto will close June 5, transferring its cases and staff to Sacramento. In an “open letter sent to the bar,” Chief Bankruptcy Judge Fredrick Clement noted that declining case loads and advancing technology are the main reasons for the closure, which applies to both the court and the clerk’s office. “Our decision is simply a matter of being good stewards of public funds. The Modesto Courthouse is expensive to operate and receives little usage,” Clement wrote.

Two dogs were killed during a motorhome fire in Turlock late Thursday morning that displaced five people, according to the Modesto Fire Department. Firefighters responded to the 200 block of West Glennwood Avenue shortly before noon and found the motorhome fully engulfed in flames. Engine 31 was initially the only responder, but an additional engine and a battalion chief were called in as backup. Crews put out the fire and prevented it from spreading into the grass field adjacent to the road.
