  Mr. BANKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Judge Paul R. 
Cherry on retiring from his position as Magistrate Judge of the United 
States District Court of the Northern District of Indiana. Judge Cherry 
graduated from Huntington University in 1973 and obtained his J.D. from 
Ohio Northern University School of Law in 1977. He began his 
distinguished legal career in private practice from 1978-1988 and was 
elected as the DeKalb County Prosecuting Attorney three years later. 
Judge Cherry went on to become a DeKalb County Circuit Court Judge and 
on October 1, 2003, he was appointed to the United States Court of the 
Northern District of Indiana as a Magistrate Judge.
  Judge Cherry has had a distinguished career on the bench and has 
helped to keep our community safe. He has tried two capital cases, 
numerous drug related cases, and conducted his hearings in a fair and 
professional manner. In his spare time Judge Cherry is a member of 
several bar associations and has served as an adjunct faculty member at 
Huntington University, Calumet College, and Valparaiso Law School.
  I applaud Judge Cherry on all his accomplishments and thank him for a 
lifetime of service to our community.
