Federal Advisory Committee appointment

Having seen written confirmation, I can now report my appointment to the Federal Advisory Committee for the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.  This committee studies rules of practice and internal operating procedures for the court and makes recommendations concerning these rules and procedures.  It also studies the rules of the Judicial Council of the Circuit.  My understanding is that my term runs through December 2027.

Many thanks to Judge Lavenski R. Smith for submitting my name and to Tim Cullen for that suggestion.  The opportunity to serve on this committee is greatly appreciated.
