Charles Boustany: “S. 801 designates the United States Courthouse located in Fresno, California, as the Robert E. Coyle United States…”

“S. 801 designates the United States Courthouse located in Fresno, California, as the Robert E. Coyle United States Courthouse. The bill honors Judge Coyle's dedication to public service. After earning his law degree from the University of California, Hastings College of Law in 1956, Judge Coyle worked for Fresno county as a Deputy District Attorney. He then entered private practice in 1958, where he remained until his appointment to the Federal bench. In 1982, Judge Coyle was appointed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California by President Ronald Reagan. He served as chief judge from 1990 to 1996, and assumed senior status on May 13, 1996. I support this legislation, and encourage my colleagues to do the same.”
