Upon Further Review

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Judge Stephen Reinhardt died suddenly and unexpectedly earlier this year on March 29. Since then, the Ninth Circuit has issued two appellate rulings in which Reinhardt provided the decisive vote in favor of the outcome of those appeals. Reinhardt’s life tenure on the Ninth Circuit lasted an impressive 37 and a half years. And his afterlife tenure as a federal appellate judge continued for nearly another four months following his untimely passing.
