AI Summary
This bill directs the President to appoint additional federal district judges, both permanent and temporary, for various judicial districts in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas, with the advice and consent of the Senate. For the temporary judgeships, the first vacancy that arises in a district court 10 years or more after a temporary judge is first appointed will not be filled, effectively limiting the duration of these temporary positions. Additionally, the bill converts certain existing temporary judgeships in Arizona, central California, New Mexico, and eastern Texas into permanent ones, ensuring that the judges currently holding those positions will continue to serve under permanent status.
