These individuals served as federal judges, having full authority to hold office and issue rulings, until their rejection by the Senate. Five individuals were appointed, but resigned the office either before the Senate voted on their nomination, or before a formal nomination was even submitted. Another five individuals were appointed, but were found to be unavailable to assume the office.
