The EDCA court's website recently added this letter to Congress signed by the entire EDCA district bench warning of an impending court crisis when two active district judges leave their positions and one senior district judge retires completely. The letter suggests that two unnamed active district judges will give notice to the President in December 2018 and January 2019 that they will retire--and not take senior status--in December 2019 and January 2020, respectively. [Hm? My guess is MCE and LJO.] The EDCA bench requests that Congress move quickly on the nomination and confirmation process when that occurs and that Congress "introduce an emergency bill for the creation of a minimum of the five new judgeship positions that have been recommended year after year."
