Judge José Antonio Fusté is currently the Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico, a court which in recent years has seen the influx of three new, relatively young judges, including the court's second female member, former U.S. magistrate Aida Delgado, attorney Francisco Besosa and forty-something former U.S. magistrate Gustavo Gelpí.
In October, 2007, Chief Judge Fusté appointed acting United States Attorney Rosa Emilia Rodríguez to a four-year extension of her term, until October 12, 2011, which can only be cut short if Rodríguez' formal nomination by President Bush as U.S. Attorney is voted down by the United States Senate or if Bush or his successor appoint a new acting United States Attorney.
