United States Attorney W. Stephen Muldrow issued the following statement on the retirement of U.S. District Court Judge Carmen Consuelo Cerezo:
“I remember with great fondness and respect having appeared before the Honorable Judge Cerezo over twenty years ago when I served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney. Now, as United States Attorney for the District of Puerto Rico and on behalf of this Office, I extend our heartfelt appreciation for Judge Cerezo’s commitment to justice and fairness, as well as her tireless years of dedicated public service in our Federal Court. For 40 years, Judge Cerezo distinguished herself as an exceptional and principled jurist, leader, and public servant. Her extraordinary contributions have left an enduring mark on the District Court and Puerto Rico will be forever grateful for her service.”
