Statement by U.S. Attorney Jason Dunn Regarding the Death of Senior U.S. District Court Judge Richard P. Matsch

DENVER – U.S. Attorney Jason Dunn issued the following statement about the death of Senior U.S. District Court Judge Richard P. Matsch:

     “This is a sad day as we’ve lost another accomplished federal judge in Colorado.  First the passing of Senior U.S. District Court Judge Wiley Y. Daniel, and now the passing of Senior U.S. District Court Judge Richard P. Matsch.  Judge Matsch was an accomplished jurist who was not afraid to take on difficult cases and complex legal issues.  While he may have achieved notoriety for ably presiding over high profile cases, it is his decades of tireless work serving the people of the United States and the cause of justice that will be his most enduring legacy.  He will be missed.”
