  This building was the first to use the GSA (General Services Administration) Security Criteria, which was issued after the Oklahoma City bombing. Langdon Wilson designed I love this building. Although I don't want to end up in it. It is the mandate of the GSA to utilize non-traditional architects to make their buildings unique in each city they are built in. I love this. Facade material concrete glass granite limestone marble Facade system curtain wall Architectural style modernism The following complementary documents provide comprehensive programming and design criteria for United States Courts facilities. U.S. Courts Design Guide: (USCDG) Focuses on the functional program requirements; the departmental and interdepartmental adjacency relationships; finish materials; and the specific performance criteria for environmental systems including heating, cooling, and lighting. It also addresses acoustic, security, telecommunications and audio/visual design requirements. Requirements and Specifications for Special Purpose and Support Space Manual including all volumes and addenda: (USMS-RSSPSSM) Provides the finish criteria for USMS functional program requirements; spatial relationships; electronic/ physical security plus hardware standards and special HVAC requirements within the U.S. Courts and Court related spaces. The USCDG includes a tabular comparison of funding responsibilities for all components of the courthouse and court functional space. (This information is organized into budget requirements for: GSA; Judiciary; and the Judiciary-Related Executive Branch Agencies.) The USCDG and USMS-RSSPSSM speak directly to the functional requirements of the user and tenant. Chapter 9 presents the most cost effective and efficient building systems, and materials to achieve the appropriate environment from the perspective of the building owner (GSA); by reference to: applicable technical standards; security standards; life-safety and accessibility requirements. The USCDG makes reference to technical information related to performance criteria in order to help illustrate the rationale for the design requirements and to establish the standard for level of quality. Chapter 9 refers to program and design issues in an effort to relate the design intent directly to the technical requirements for the building systems and finishes. Chapter 9 does not cover issues related to selection of audio-visual, data, or telecommunications systems. (This criterion is developed in the U.S. Courts Courtroom Technology Manual.) Reference is made to these systems in Chapter 9 only with regard to the electrical service requirements in the areas where they are being installed. Complementary documents to both the USCDG and Chapter 9 are the USMS-RSSPSSM standards. These documents establish, in detail, the environmental, security, functional, and technical requirements for the USMS spatial accommodations within U.S. courthouses. They include: information regarding secure environments for prisoners being held in preparation for a court appearance; USMS staff facilities; and general building security requirements. (The building perimeter and site specific security issues are the responsibility of the GSA.) GSA is responsible for power to the electronic security devices, but it should be understood by the design consultants that the USMS security contractor provides detailing and environmental requirements related to security within the functional area dedicated to the courts. Chapter 9 will indicate general requirements, but the USMS-RSSPSSM is the standard to follow. Last Reviewed 2012-07-03 Print Email Favorites Twitter Facebook Share

  This is THE MOST CORRUPT court I have witnessed! Navarro is anything but "honorable" and has committed HIGH TREASON numerous times. Time to arrest that "judge"!

  Well this department is not for the people! We The People stand and say let the Bundys free! They did no wrong! Due to the lack of justification on the matter sounds like this department needs to be relieved of their duties acting as of now. By the declaration set fourth by our nations founding fathers. FREE THE BUNDYS

  List of violations in Judge Navarro’s Federal court room. Las Vegas, Nevada. Cliven Bundy et al vs United States of America Our Constitutional rights are not only being violated, they are being mocked and disposed of as if they are nothing more than a suggestion from our framers. A court of order and Justice can only exist if all parties involved follow the Law, the supreme law of the land. Here are just some of the violations that our fellow Americans are suffering under: First, the US Constitution, the very document our founders fought and died for to protect the people from an over reaching government, has been denied to be visible in the court room. The only way it's being allowed in the Federal courtroom, is if it's turned around backwards in the observers pockets. This should break the hearts of any proud American who looks to our Constitution and flag as a sign of Justice and Liberty for all. Todd Engel has been denied his Constitutionally protected right to represent himself because he dared to ask an FBI agent on the stand if the head BLM agent, Dan Love was in fact under investigation for misconduct. That question alone, caused the judge to strip him of his right to self represent. And even though the defense has every constitutionally protected right to call Agent Dan Love to the stand, the judge is denying that right stating his testimony is not necessary to their defense. We have a Constitutionally protected right to face our accusers. however, An FBI agent took the stand (Adam Nixon) and testified that he had obtained a warrant to search Greg Burleson's facebook page and he went through the information presented and NEVER mentioned he was also Burleson's handler in 2013. Greg was the only defendant who has spoken a message of violence and is NOT in line with our families message and if fact shocked us all when the videos were revealed in court. Had we heard those words from him while we were protecting our property and cattle, he would have been immediately removed from our land. It was not revealed he was an FBI informant until the following week when another agent (Michael Caputo) took the stand and Burleson's own attorney came out and questioned him about Burleson's time as an informant. Burleson's last phone call to Agent Caputo was right after he was interviewed by Longbow later 2015. Along with all this, no other defense attorney’s were not allowed to cross examine Agent Caputo to get more information about Burleson's payments or time as an informant. To top it off, news channel 8 came and reported on Burleson's damming and violent videos and failed to notify the public he was in fact an informant. They failed to report on the other two defendant’s peaceable interviews with the fake fbi planted news crew (longbow) and only focused on Burleson’s very violent videos. This taints the jury pool for the next 2 trails coming this year for the rest of the defendants. The head prosecutor, Steven Myhre, has stated that despite our Constitutionally protected right to self defense, we, at not time, have a right to point a weapon at any law enforcement ever, EVEN IF we believe we are going to be shot. The government's position is that you just have to submit to being shot. In fact, Judge Navarro has stated that you only need to have a weapon in sight of an officer for them to perceive assault. This is not Nazi Germany. This is AMERICA! Please read the constitution and understand WHY we have a 2nd Amendment right! It's NOT for hunting! We have a constitutionally protected right to call witnesses to the stand in our defense. No where in the constitution does it regulate how many or what kind of witnesses can be called. Yet the defense was denied nearly every witness it attempted to call today. It was the first day of witnesses and not one was allowed to take the stand. In the end, the ones who are willing to testify are being threatened with arrest because they are calling this an ongoing conspiracy saying they can indict more people at any time.
