The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has affirmed the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by Judge Pauline Newman challenging her suspension from hearing cases at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Judge Newman, who has served on the Federal Circuit since 1984, sought to reinstate the lawsuit and overturn her suspension. However, the appeals court denied her bid, effectively upholding the temporary bar on her participation in cases. The decision was made despite some expressed constitutional concerns and questions about legal precedent raised during the appeal. Judge Newman is 98 years old and has been a longstanding member of the Federal Circuit.
