The Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) told the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on Thursday that Judge Pauline Newman’s appeal of her effective removal from the CAFC should fail because her claims do not meet the “exceptional circumstances” warranted for transfer to another circuit and her constitutional challenges are precluded. Newman appealed the July 2024 dismissal of her case against the CAFC in early December, after the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in July dismissed the remaining counts in her challenge to CAFC Chief Judge Kimberly Moore’s inquiry into Newman’s fitness to continue serving as a federal appellate judge.
