This morning the Federal Circuit announced that it has released materials in its investigation related to Judge Newman. Most notably, the materials include a report and recommendation of the special committee unanimously recommending “a further one-year sanction during which Judge Newman will not be permitted to hear cases at the panel or en banc level, subject to renewal if the refusal to cooperate found here continues after that time and subject to modification or rescission if Judge Newman alters her conduct and begins to cooperate with the Committee.” Here is the full text of today’s announcement with links to the released material.

Pursuant to Judge Newman’s request under Rule 23(b)(7) and pursuant to Rule 23(b)(8), the materials below are being released. 

Prior documents in this matter can be found on the court’s website. Neither the Judicial Council, Special Committee, nor the court are providing any additional statements at this time.
