The DC Ct of Appeals is similar to a state supreme court. It's not the US District Ct for DC or the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, both federal courts. Judge Oberly retired in 2013. Judge Fisher is the new retiree as his 15-year term ends 1/6/2021. I guess he's retiring a few months early.
