A D.C. federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by 97-year-old Federal Circuit Judge Pauline Newman, who sought reinstatement after being suspended last year for refusing to undergo medical tests. Judge Newman, who was accused of unfitness due to cognitive and physical impairments related to her age, argued that the judicial conduct law used to suspend her was unconstitutional. The court, however, ruled that she failed to prove this claim. Despite the dismissal, Judge Newman intends to continue her legal battle to regain her full judicial duties.
