BEFORE WE WERE A DISTRICT. Martin I. Welsh (above right) is sworn in by Chief Judge A. F. St. Sure as the first federal judge to reside in Sacramento, in 1939. Below, left to right, his successor Judge Dal M. Lemmon (1947-1954) of Sacramento, and Judges Campbell E. Beaumont (1939-1954) and Gilbert H. Jertberg (1955-1958) of Fresno.

The Court is saddened by the loss of retired United States District Judge Milton L. Schwartz, who passed away in Sacramento, California on October 3, 2005. Please read the text of his obituary from the Sacramento Bee.

On October 15, 2004, United States Attorney McGregor Scott unveiled a "Wall of History" at the U.S. Attorney's office, displaying a plaque with the names and dates of service of all past United States Attorneys and photos of all Presidentially appointed U.S. Attorneys. See the Past United States Attorneys page for the photos.

Also, last year United States Marshal Antonio Amador introduced a similar display of photos of all former United States Marshals for the District. See the Past United States Marshals page for those photos.
