A U.S. district judge in Alaska, Joshua Kindred, notified the U.S. court system of his resignation earlier this week, according to data provided by the U.S. Courts website.

With the judge’s vacancy, it means that President Joe Biden has the chance to nominate a jurist to the U.S. District Court of Alaska.
