Christina Snyder, a judge on the United States District Court for the Central District of California, will assume senior status, creating an Article III judicial vacancy. To enter into an Article III position, Judge Snyder’s successor must be nominated by the president, and that nomination is subject to the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate. Under current law, the court has 28 active judicial positions. Judge Snyder’s elevation to senior status will create a fourth vacancy on that court.
President Barack Obama will pardon a turkey from Iowa during the National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation.

Iowa turkeys have been presented to Presidents Lyndon Johnson, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, and now to Obama.”
