Nearby judges to assist during vacant judgeship
Chief Judge Sleet announced today that the court would be assigning every fourth case to a judge selected from a roster of about 6 judges from the E.D.Pa. and possibly later from the D.N.J. until the vacancy is filled with a fourth judge in this district. It is expected that the pretrial proceedings will take place where those judges normally reside, but the trials will take place in Delaware. It is unclear at this point whether those cases will be reassigned once the vacancy is filled.
