Federal judge in Ohio rescinds retirement after Trump victory, with Biden yet to nominate a successor

A federal judge in Ohio is rescinding his partial retirement after President Biden's administration failed to nominate a replacement for him.

U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley had announced plans to take on senior status in October 2023, which allowed him to take a lighter case load until a replacement could be appointed. His decision to rescind his retirement now blocks President-elect Trump from naming a replacement once he enters office.

Marbley is an appointee of President Bill Clinton.
