Federal Circuit Extends Suspension of Judge Pauline Newman for Another Year

The Federal Circuit has decided to extend the suspension of Judge Pauline Newman, the nation’s oldest active federal judge, for another year. This decision, taken by the Judicial Council of the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, was unanimous. The suspension prevents Judge Newman from participating in new cases, including those reviewed by the full court. The council’s order specified that this suspension could be renewed if Judge Newman’s non-cooperation continues. Last year, the full Federal Circuit Judicial Council initiated this suspension, citing the same reasons. For more detailed information, you can read the full story on Bloomberg Law.
