CASE LOAD Act of 2023

The CASE LOAD Act of 2023 adds judicial positions to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California to address an unsustainable caseload. It directs the President to appoint two additional judges by January 2025, one by January 2027, and two more by January 2029, increasing the total judgeship count from six to 11. This directly affects the court serving approximately 8.4 million residents across 34 counties in California, where pending cases per judge exceeded 1,300 as of June 2022. The bill amends the table of authorized judgeships in Title 28 of the U.S. Code to reflect these increases.
