Haynes Confirmed to 5th Circuit
The Tex Parte Blog is reporting that former Dallas district judge Catharina Haynes (pictured) has been confirmed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. She joins Judge Jennifer Elrod (previously discussed here) as Baker Botts alumna recently taking seats on the court.
One can't help but notice that three of President Bush's last four Fifth Circuit appointments (see Judge Priscilla Owen) have been Texas women.
