Doub United States Courthouse | 2016-09-21 | 2016 | 2016-09 | Democrat | House | NC | G. Butterfield | B001251 | butterfield.house.gov | legacy | Washington, DC – Late yesterday evening, the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation introduced by Congressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01) to designate the United States Courthouse located at 150 Reade Circle in Greenville, North Carolina as the “Judge Randy D. Doub United States Courthouse,” in honor of late U.S. Federal Judge Randy D. Doub. “There is no more fitting way to honor the judicial legacy and contributions of Judge Randy D. Doub than to name the United States Courthouse in Greenville, North Carolina where he served with such distinction, in his honor,” said Butterfield. “It is my hope that the U.S. Senate will work expeditiously to pass this bill so that Judge Randy D. Doub’s contributions to the community he loved so much will live on for generations to come.” On November 5, 2015, Butterfield introduced H.R. 3937, a bill to rename the U.S. Courthouse in Greenville after Judge Doub. Judge Doub was appointed by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals as a United States Bankruptcy Judge for the Eastern District of North Carolina in 2006 and served as the chief bankruptcy judge from 2007 until his death. Prior to taking the Bench, Doub was in the private practice of law for 26 years in Greenville. He was appointed to the North Carolina Board of Transportation in 1985, where he served until 1990. “I am so pleased that the House has acted to rename the Greenville Courthouse in memory of Judge Randy Davis Doub,” said Congressman Walter B. Jones (NC-03). "This is the right thing to do for a man who fervently believed in God and justice.” H.R. 3937 now heads to the U.S. Senate for consideration.
