Okla. or E.D. Ok.) is a federal court in the Tenth Circuit (except for patent claims and claims against the U.S. government under the Tucker Act, which are appealed to the Federal Circuit).       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The District was established on June 16, 1906, and became operational on November 16, 1907, with Oklahoma achieving statehood.[1]The court’s jurisdiction comprises the following counties: Adair, Atoka, Bryan, Carter, Cherokee, Choctaw, Coal, Haskell, Hughes, Johnston, Latimer, Le Flore, Love, Marshall, McCurtain, McIntosh, Murray, Muskogee, Okfuskee, Okmulgee, Pittsburg, Pontotoc, Pushmataha, Seminole, Sequoyah, and Wagoner.The court is housed in the Ed Edmondson U.S. Courthouse in Muskogee.The United States Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of Oklahoma represents the United States in civil and criminal litigation in the court.

Unlike the Supreme Court, where one justice is specifically nominated to be chief, the office of chief judge rotates among the district court judges. To be chief, a judge must have been in active service on the court for at least one year, be under the age of 65, and have not previously served as chief judge. A vacancy is filled by the judge highest in seniority among the group of qualified judges. The chief judge serves for a term of seven years or until age 70, whichever occurs first. The age restrictions are waived if no members of the court would otherwise be qualified for the position.When the office was created in 1948, the chief judge was the longest-serving judge who had not elected to retire on what has since 1958 been known as senior status or declined to serve as chief judge. After August 6, 1959, judges could not become or remain chief after turning 70 years old. The current rules have been in operation since October 1, 1982.Succession of seats[edit]Seat 2Seat established on September 14, 1922 by 42\u00a0Stat.\u00a0837 (temporary)Kennamer1924\u20131925Seat reassigned to Northern District and made permanent on February 16, 1925 by 43\u00a0Stat.\u00a0945Seat 3Seat established on June 22, 1936 by 49\u00a0Stat.\u00a01804 (concurrent with Northern and Western Districts)Murrah1937\u20131940Broaddus1940\u20131949Wallace1950\u20131960Bohanon1961\u20131974Cook1974\u20131992Burrage1994\u20132001Payne2001\u20132017Heil III2020\u2013presentSeat 4Seat established on May 19, 1961 by 75\u00a0Stat.\u00a080 (concurrent with Northern and Western Districts)Daugherty1962\u20131982Russell1981\u20131990Seat reassigned solely to Western District on December 1, 1990 by 104\u00a0Stat.\u00a05089See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]District courtsAlabama (M, N, S)AlaskaArizonaArkansas (E, W)California (C, E, N, S)ColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFlorida (M, N, S)Georgia (M, N, S)HawaiiIdahoIllinois (C, N, S)Indiana (N, S)Iowa (N, S)KansasKentucky (E, W)Louisiana (E, M, W)MaineMarylandMassachusettsMichigan (E, W)MinnesotaMississippi (N, S)Missouri (E, W)MontanaNebraskaNevadaNew  HampshireNew  JerseyNew  MexicoNew  York (E, N, S, W)North  Carolina (E, M, W)North  DakotaOhio (N, S)Oklahoma (E, N, W)OregonPennsylvania (E, M, W)Puerto  RicoRhode  IslandSouth  CarolinaSouth  DakotaTennessee (E, M, W)Texas (E, N, S, W)UtahVermontVirginia (E, W)Washington (E, W)West  Virginia (N, S)Wisconsin (E, W)WyomingTerritorial courtsExtinct courtsNoteCoordinates: 35\u00b045\u203201\u2033N 95\u00b022\u203228\u2033W\ufeff \/ \ufeff35.75020\u00b0N 95.37439\u00b0W\ufeff \/ 35.75020; -95.37439     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/united-states-district-court-for-the-eastern-district-of-oklahoma\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma"}}]}]
