In a new order filed today, the Southern District of Texas has eliminated the single-judge division

In a new order filed today, the Southern District of Texas has eliminated the single-judge division in Victoria. Going forward, new civil cases filed in Victoria have a 50/50 shot of being assigned to Judge Morales (Trump appointee) or Judge Ramos (Obama)

Of note, the order does not get rid of the Southern District’s *other* single-judge division (Galveston, where Judge Brown hears 100% of new civil cases).
So this appears to be more specific to divvying up Victoria cases rather than eliminating single-judge divisions writ large.
