The judges and staff of the United States Bankruptcy Court extend congratulations and best wishes to Judge Helen E. Burris on the tenth anniversary of her appointment as a United States Bankruptcy Judge. She was appointed March 1, 2006 and serves as the resident judge for the Spartanburg Division, while also maintaining a caseload in the Columbia Division. Her appointment to the position, newly authorized by the 2005 amendments to the bankruptcy code, was the first occasion for seating a South Carolina bankruptcy judge outside Columbia.
