Don’t know how I missed this on Friday (even though I had an emergency visit to the local urgent care storefront after a trip-and-fall).
CSTJ Peter (“Modesty”) Panuthos is stepping down as Boss of the small judges of the small court, effective 9/1/17. He has served for twenty-five (count ‘em, twenty-five) glorious years as Chief, out of a total of thirty-four years on the USTC bench.
And his successor?
Blow the bugle, beat the drum.
None other than STJ Lewis (“His Name Is My Name Too”) R. Carluzzo.
Loud cheers from the assembled multitudes.
