The [1]Houston Chronicle reports:
An order issued today by an executive session of judges from the
U.S. Southern District of Texas calls for U.S. District Judge
Samuel Kent to move from Galveston, where he was the only federal
judge, to Houston....
The order issued today redistributes Kent's Galveston cases among
other Houston judges. The order did not say when, if ever, Kent
would return to Galveston. David Bradley, chief deputy clerk for
the Southern District, said Kent would remain in Houston until a
new order was issued allowing him to return to Galveston.
Federal judges will continue to hear cases in the Galveston court
room, but they will commute from Houston.
