Hood to take senior status on May 1
U.S. District Judge Denise Page Hood has advised colleagues that she plans to take senior status on May 1, but continue serving with a full caseload.
Senior status would enable her to eventually reduce her caseload and permit President Joe Biden to nominate an active-status judge for eastern Michigan.
Hood, 70, stepped down as chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan in February, passing the gavel to District Judge Sean Cox. President Bill Clinton nominated her to the federal bench in 1994 after she had served as a judge on Detroit’s 36th District Court, Detroit Recorder’s Court and Wayne County Circuit Court. She became chief judge in 2016 based on her age and seniority with the court.
