(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4History[edit]The United States District Court for the District of Ohio was established on February 19, 1803, by 2\u00a0Stat.\u00a0201.[2][3] The act of authorized one judgeship for the court. The district court in Ohio, not being assigned to a judicial circuit, was granted the same jurisdiction as U.S. circuit courts, except in appeals and writs of error, which were the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.[3] By the act of February 24, 1807, 2\u00a0Stat.\u00a0420, the authority of the Ohio district court to exercise the jurisdiction of a U.S. circuit court was repealed, and Ohio was assigned to the newly organized Seventh Circuit. It also provided for a U.S. circuit court for the District of Ohio.[3]The District was subdivided into Northern and Southern Districts on February 10, 1855, by 10\u00a0Stat.\u00a0604.[3] The district judge serving the District of Ohio, Humphrey H. Leavitt, was reassigned to the Southern District of Ohio.On July 23, 1866, by 14\u00a0Stat.\u00a0209, Congress reorganized the circuits and assigned Ohio to the Sixth Circuit.[3] Additional judgeships were created in 1910, 1937, 1966, 1970, 1978, 1984, and 1990.[3]Current judges[edit]As of December\u00a016, 2022[update]:Former judges[edit]^ Reassigned from the District of Ohio.^ White was confirmed and received his commission, but died without taking the oath of office or commencing service.^ Recess appointment; formally nominated on December 18, 1883, confirmed by the United States Senate on January 7, 1884, and received commission the same day.^ Recess appointment; formally nominated on December 13, 1898, confirmed by the Senate on December 20, 1898, and received commission the same day.^ Recess appointment; formally nominated on December 8, 1908, confirmed by the Senate on March 1, 1909, and received commission the same day.^ Recess appointment; formally nominated on November 16, 1937, confirmed by the Senate on December 8, 1937, and received commission on December 14, 1937.^ Recess appointment; formally nominated on January 15, 1962, confirmed by the Senate on April 11, 1962, and received commission on April 12, 1962.Chief judges[edit]Chief judges have administrative responsibilities with respect to their district 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 1Seat reassigned from District of Ohio on February 10, 1855 by 10\u00a0Stat.\u00a0604Leavitt1855\u20131871Swing1871\u20131882White1883Sage1883\u20131898Thompson1898\u20131910Seat abolished on January 26, 1910 (temporary judgeship expired)Seat 2Seat established on February 25, 1907 by 34\u00a0Stat.\u00a0928 (temporary)Seat became permanent upon the abolition of Seat 1 on January 26, 1910Sater1909\u20131924Hough1925\u20131935Underwood1936\u20131965Kinneary1966\u20131986Smith1987\u20132002Frost2003\u20132016Morrison2019\u2013presentSeat 4Seat established on August 25, 1937 by 50\u00a0Stat.\u00a0805Druffel1937\u20131961Seat abolished on September 30, 1961 (temporary judgeship expired)Seat 5Seat established on May 19, 1961 by 75\u00a0Stat.\u00a080 (temporary)Seat became permanent upon the abolition of Seat 4 on September 30, 1961Peck II1961\u20131966Hogan1966\u20131979Rice1980\u20132004Barrett2006\u20132019Newman2020\u2013presentSeat 6Seat established on March 18, 1966 by 80\u00a0Stat.\u00a075Porter1966\u20131979Spiegel1980\u20131995Dlott1995\u20132018Cole2019\u2013presentSeat 7Seat established on June 2, 1970 by 84\u00a0Stat.\u00a0294Rubin1971\u20131995Sargus, Jr.1996\u2013presentSeat 8Seat established on October 20, 1978 by 92\u00a0Stat.\u00a01629Holschuh1980\u20131996Marbley1997\u2013presentSeat 9Seat established on July 10, 1984 by 98\u00a0Stat.\u00a0347Weber1985\u20132002Rose2002\u20132017McFarland2019\u2013presentSeat 10Seat established on December 1, 1990 by 104\u00a0Stat.\u00a05089Beckwith1992\u20132009Black2010\u20132022Hopkins2022\u2013presentUnited States Attorneys[edit]See also[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: 39\u00b006\u203206.8\u2033N 84\u00b030\u203238.4\u2033W\ufeff \/ \ufeff39.101889\u00b0N 84.510667\u00b0W\ufeff \/ 39.101889; -84.510667     (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\/wiki21\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki21\/united-states-district-court-for-the-southern-district-of-ohio\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio"}}]}]
