Chief U.S. District Judge Wiley Y. Daniel Says

Chief U.S. District Judge Wiley Y. Daniel has asked the U.S. Senate to expedite a vote on filling a Colorado federal court vacancy, saying a shortage of judges is impeding the public's access to justice.

In a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Daniel cited an 18-month history of trouble in the court keeping up with caseloads. He asked the two to put aside partisanship and allow a vote on the nomination of Denver lawyer William Martinez.
