BOISE, Idaho — The retirement of a federal district judge from regular active service will enable President Joe Biden to appoint a new judge for Idaho.
The Idaho Press reported U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill plans to take senior status in August after 26 years on the federal bench in Idaho.
Winmill sent a letter to Biden with notification of his plan to assume senior status.
Idaho is one of three states with only two federal district judges.
The state has not been granted an additional judgeship in 60 years, though caseloads have soared.
