Los Angeles Times:

The former chief federal judge in Montana has decided to retire at the conclusion of a misconduct investigation into a racist email about President Obama he forwarded to friends from his work computer last year.

 

U.S. District Judge Richard F. Cebull, who had taken less-active senior status on the bench after the incident, will retire in May, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals’ chief judge, Alex Kozinski, said in a statement.

The email had implied that Obama's mother was so drunk at the time of his conception that he was lucky his father was not a dog. Cebull admitted sending it, telling the Great Falls Tribune that he was “not a fan” of Obama but is not a racist.
