Rest in Peace, Judge Dube

By John R. Byrne

Sad news. Judge Dube, who served our Court as a magistrate judge for seventeen years, has passed away. Judge Dube served from 1996 to 2013. He also served our country as a Marine before attending the University of Miami for both his undergraduate and legal education. 

Below is David's 2013 post commemorating Judge Dube's retirement. Rest in peace, Judge Dube.

Judge Dube retires

Magistrate Judge Dube has been part of the court family for a long long time.  Today he retired, and the court had a nice luncheon for him.  In classic Dube fashion, he started off his remarks: "I am a humble man, but I agree with all the nice things you said about me."  Good stuff. 

When I was a clerk back in 1997, Judge Dube made a point of introducing himself to the new clerks and offering any help we needed in figuring out how the court worked.  He also helped us all get involved in the Federal Bar Association, a group he ran for over 25 years.

His longtime clerk Lourdes Fernandez gave some really nice heartfelt remarks about her 10 years with Judge Dube.

He's a good man.
