The federal judge who issued a nationwide ruling blocking use of mifepristone redacted key information on his legally mandated financial disclosures
In his 2020 and 2021 annual disclosures, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk wrote that he held between $5 million and $25 million in “common stock” of a company – a significant majority of the judge’s personal wealth. The name of the company he held stock in is redacted, despite the fact that federal law only allows redactions of information that could “endanger” a judge or their family member.
” Notably, no other judges in Kacsmaryk’s district, the Northern District of Texas, redacted the name of a company they held stock in in their most recently available financial disclosures. Lissner, whose organization has published thousands of financial disclosure forms, said that while redactions aren’t especially uncommon, the size of the holding Kacsmaryk redacted and the fact that the name of the company was hidden were unusual.
