Scammers are impersonating local and federal jury offices and law enforcement. They may use your personal details, real agency names, and fake badge numbers to pressure you into staying on the line and threaten arrest or fines. Courts never call to demand payment or personal information. Do not share any information—hang up immediately. Verify jury matters only by contacting your local or federal jury office using official phone numbers.
The Honorable Benjamin Hursh was appointed to the bench on February 1, 2017, in the District of Montana. With the consent of Judge Hursh, the Ninth Circuit entered a temporary transfer to allow Judge Hursh to preside over cases in the District of Idaho. The transfer is in addition to Judge Hursh's duties as Chief Bankruptcy Judge in the District of Montana.
Judge Hursh has been assigned all of the cases over which Judge Hillen has a conflict, and he has been assigned a portion of the new chapter 7, 11, and 12 cases filed in both Southern and Eastern Idaho.
