Page 26 TITLE 28—JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE § 82 WHEREAS Judge Hodge has appointed an acting United States Attorney, an acting United States Mar- shal, and other court officers; and WHEREAS the United States District Court for the District of Alaska is now prepared to assume the func- tions imposed upon it: NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me by section 18 of the said act of July 7, 1958 [set out above], I hereby proclaim that the United States District Court for the District of Alaska is prepared to assume the functions imposed upon it. Accordingly, the jurisdiction of the District Court for the Territory of Alaska and the tenure of the judges, the United States Attorneys, Marshals, and other officers of that court are now terminated.

A provision for transfer of causes, civil or criminal, from one place for holding court to another was omit- ted. Such provision, as to civil cases, is covered by sec- tion 1404 of this title, and, as to criminal cases, is ren- dered unnecessary because of inherent power of the court and Rules 18–20 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, relating to venue. A provision for making an interlocutory order at any place designated for holding court was omitted as un- necessary in view of Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, rule 77(b). A provision requiring the clerk to keep his off
