JUNE 22, 2001 President Bush on Thursday nominated former New Mexico judge Harris L. Hartz for a position on the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. Hartz sat on the New Mexico Court of Appeals from 1988 to 1999. He was chief judge for his last two years there. Hartz left the post to serve as legal counsel to Stier, Anderson & Malone. Currently at the Washington, DC, office, he is developing an anti-corruption program for the Teamsters union. Hartz joins another nominee to the Denver-based appeals court. Bush last month named a University of Utah law professor Michael W. McConnell to the court, a nomination which has drawn some criticism. The 10th Circuit oversees cases affecting tribes in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, and Wyoming. Its favorable ruling on a Navajo Nation hotel tax was reversed by the Supreme Court last month. The court is also considering a labor relations / sovereignty dispute involving San Juan Pueblo of New Mexico. After deciding in the tribe's favor last year, the court re-heard arguments last month.
