Pauline Newman Suspension
In September 2023, U.S. Judge Pauline Newman was suspended from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit for a year by the Federal Circuit’s Judicial Council for refusing to undergo a neurological examination amid concerns about her fitness. She also declined an interview with a judicial committee and a request to share her medical records, according to The Washington Post.
Newman filled a federal lawsuit against her colleagues over her suspension. Her lawsuit challenged the constitutionality of the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act, which established the process for the investigation.
In July 2024, U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper dismissed the case, ruling that Newman had failed to show how the 1980 act violated the Fourth Amendment and that a provision of the act is not unconstitutionally vague. Cooper rejected Newman’s other constitutional challenges to the act in February. Newman appealed the ruling.
