Arkansas Court of Appeals Judge Price Marshall Confirmed as Federal Judge

Arkansas Court of Appeals Judge D.P. “Price” Marshall has been confirmed as a judge for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.   Judge Marshall was elected to the Arkansas Court of Appeals four years ago, and will be replacing U.S. District Judge William R. Wilson, who assumed senior status (which is a form of retirement).   A spokesman for Gov. Beebe’s office said that the Governor is still considering how to handle the vacancy that Judge Marshall’s appointment leaves on the Court of Appeals.
