Overview
- The Superior Chamber magistrate said she will finish her original nine‑year term, which began in November 2016, at the end of this month.
- She declined the 2024 judicial‑reform provision that allowed sitting magistrates to extend their mandates through 2027.
- The Senate is expected to start Article 98 procedures to appoint a successor to the TEPJF’s Superior Chamber.
- Her departure follows internal rifts, including her 2019 resignation from the court presidency and a recent dissent citing “acordeón” handouts as grounds to annul results.
- Four colleagues opted to remain until 2027, the tribunal recently seated Gilberto Bátiz and Claudia Valle, and magistrate Reyes Rodríguez has not publicly announced his decision on an extension.
