CASE LOAD Act of 2023

This bill adds 5 new federal judgeships to the Eastern District of California over three phases (2 in 2025, 1 in 2027, 2 in 2029) to address its unsustainable caseload of 1,308 cases per judge - over double the Ninth Circuit average. It directly affects the court serving 8.4 million residents across 34 counties, including rapidly growing cities in California. The bill amends the judicial positions table in federal law to reflect these additions, with specific effective dates set for each phase. Funding for these positions and associated court facilities is authorized under the bill.
