The Judicial Conference of the United States on Tuesday recommended that Congress create 79 new judgeships, including two on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco.
According to a March 16 press release, caseloads in the district courts increased 47% since the last major bill creating additional judgeships was enacted in 1990. The increase is based on caseloads at the end of fiscal year 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic affected case filings.
The proposal recommends creation of 77 new district court judgeships and two appellate judgeships. It also proposes that nine temporary district judgeships be converted to permanent status. The breakdown is here.

A 41-year-old man from Virginia who waged a cyber-harassment campaign against the mayor of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and his family has been sentenced to prison.
Norfolk resident Adam Maxwell Donn was charged in July 2020 with cyberstalking G.T. Bynum. Between June 11 and June 22, 2020, Donn barraged the mayor and his family with 14 threatening calls and 44 emails in the hope of intimidating Bynum into canceling a political rally scheduled to take place in Tulsa in June 2020.
Donn threatened to publish the home address of the Bynum family online along with personal information, including the children s cell phone numbers and the passwords to their social media accounts. He said that he hoped doing so would cause a crowd to encroach on the Bynums home and cause the mayor and his family harm and emotional distress.
