- Gerald Rosen, a judge on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, will assume senior status. Judge Rosen’s elevation creates an Article III judicial vacancy on the court. As an Article III position, Judge Rosen’s successor must be nominated by the president, and that nomination is subject to the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate. Under current law, the Eastern District of Michigan has 15 active judicial positions. Judge Rosen’s elevation to senior status will create the only current vacancy on the court.
