President Joe Biden has made seven appointments to the federal courts based in Colorado .

The next president will have a chance to make his or her mark on the district court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit .

The main driver of judicial vacancies is a concept known as "senior status".

All five Obama appointees joined the 10th Circuit between 2010 and 2014 .

Judge Scott M. Matheson Jr. of Utah became eligible in 2022 , but opted against stepping down under Biden .

The remaining judges who will become eligible in 2026 or 2027 are Robert E. Bacharach of Oklahoma , Gregory A. Phillips of Wyoming , Carolyn B. McHugh of Utah and Nancy L. Moritz of Kansas .
