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.

a good man. a good friend. the ranks of the old federal bar chapter are slipping away.
So sad. He was a great man and a great judge. He also had a great staff. Love how he kept defense counsel on a short leash and would not have detention hearings for hours cross examining case agents on the weakness of the case which had nothing to do with what was before the court: Danger or risk of flight. God Bless you judge. You were the best.
