Dear Justice Holland:
I note that your term on the Advisory Committee on Appellate Rules expired on October 1, 2010. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your service to the Judicial Conference during the past six years as a member of this committee.

I very much appreciate your contributions and the time you have been willing to invest, over and above the performance of your regular judicial duties, in helping carry out the Judicial Conference’s statutory responsibility to study the operation and effect of the federal rules. During your years of service, the Committee was involved in many important projects that will have a lasting and profound impact on the administration of justice. Your wise counsel was well respected by the Committee, and your views and contributions had a direct impact on the success of the federal rulemaking process.

You have my personal gratitude and best regards.

Sincerely,
John Roberts Jr.
