On Tuesday, the high court declined to hear the case of a 98-year-old federal judge who challenged her ongoing suspension from an appeals court in the nation’s capital.
Judge Pauline Newman, who will turn 99 on June 20, serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
In March, she filed a petition with the Supreme Court, arguing the Federal Circuit unconstitutionally forced her out of her position after an investigation determined her alleged cognitive deterioration rendered her unfit for the job.
