Regarding an op-ed piece authored by retired U.S. Chief Judge Jose Linares published in the Law Journal on Jan. 20, 2020, “Federal Judges Deserve Better,” I believe it’s necessary to raise some points about the letter and about the news report to which it responds, “Federal Judge in Newark Leads District of New Jersey in Outstanding Motions Pending.” The report examines federal judiciary data on long-pending motions (longer than six months) in the District of New Jersey.

First, I thank Chief Judge Linares for writing and agreeing to publication of his letter. We always encourage hearing from the community, including—and especially—when it is to challenge us.
