"Longtime judge John C. Godbold, dies at 89"

"Longtime judge John C. Godbold, dies at 89": This obituary appeared yesterday in The Montgomery Advertiser.

According to the obituary, "Godbold, appointed to the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals by President Lyndon Johnson in 1966, became chief judge of the circuit in 1981. When the region formerly covered by the circuit was divided and the new Eleventh Circuit was created, Godbold became chief judge of the new circuit, thus making him the only person ever to serve as chief judge of two different federal circuits."
