According to the Federal Circuit's website on Thursday, Judge Stark has been officially sworn in to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. According to their post, he was sworn in on the Lincoln Bible, held by his wife Beth Stark. Congratulations again to Judge Stark!
As we discussed on Thursday, the Court is still in the process of re-assigning Judge Stark's cases, with the majority so far going to other D. Del. Article III judges. Judge Stark still has a number of cases, including for example C.A. No. 19-01938-LPS, where he issued an order on Monday asking for briefing following a status report from the parties (with briefing deadlines set over the remainder of March). He was also assigned two new cases this week (C.A. Nos. 22-151 and 22-312), although I'm guessing that may have been a mistake.
We haven't yet noticed any cases re-assigned to the VAC docket yet, but I'm guessing we'll see a wave of those at some point soon.
