Here’s a slightly revised list of the Republican-appointed court of appeals judges who are (or, in the case of the asterisked names, will at some point this year become) eligible to take senior status or retire but who, so far as I’m aware, have not yet stated a decision to do so. There are 25 judges on the list, including a remarkable five from the Fifth Circuit and four from the Seventh.

First Circuit: Boudin, Torruella

Second Circuit: Walker

Third Circuit: Roth, Scirica

Fourth Circuit: Niemeyer*

Fifth Circuit: Davis, DeMoss, Higginbotham, Jolly, Wiener

Seventh Circuit: Flaum, Kanne, Posner, Rovner

Eighth Circuit: Loken, Wollman

Ninth Circuit: O’Scannlain, Rymer*

Tenth Circuit: Kelly

Eleventh Circuit: Tjoflat

Federal Circuit: Lourie, Mayer*, Michel*, Newman

Active judges who have announced their intention to take senior status or retire are Selya (First Circuit), Van Antwerpen (Third Circuit), Widener (Fourth Circuit), and Morris Arnold (Eighth Circuit). If a reader knows of any judges in the above list who have also so stated their intention, please let me know.

(Here are the corrections to my previous listing: I’ve moved Widener and Arnold off the list since each has stated his intention to take senior status or retire (indeed, William Haynes was long ago nominated to Widener’s seat), and I’ve added Tjoflat. I’ve also done a more thorough search of the database, so the list above should be exhaustive.)
