Federal judges declined to extend Wisconsin interim U.S. Attorney Brad Schimel's temporary term, which ends next week.

A majority of the judges on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin on Tuesday declined to invoke their power to keep Schimel in his post until the vacancy is permanently filled, The Hill news outlet reported. Schimel, who ran as a conservative candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court last year, will end his appointment early next week.

“The Court awaits the nomination and confirmation of a full-time United States Attorney by the President and United States Senate,” according to a notice posted on the court’s website.

The court emphasized that it “intends no criticism or commentary” on Schimel’s performance as interim U.S. attorney or his qualifications, or those of the Justice Department lawyers in his office, by deciding not to extend his temporary term.

“To the credit of that office, from the Court’s perspective, it has continued to represent the citizens of this district well,” the notice reads.

President Trump has not formally nominated Schimel to the position. He is one of several of Trump's U.S. attorney picks whose tenures were not extended by the federal judges overseeing their districts.

In November, Attorney General Pam Bondi appointed Schimel to a 120-day term, The Associated Press reported.

Schimel declined the AP's request for comment.
