Court's Name

[edit]

I removed a statement that the court is "also known as the United States District Court for the District of the Virgin Islands." This is not true. Under 48 U.S.C. § 1611, the court's official name is the "District Court of the Virgin Islands." As the article indicates, the court is not an Article III court, making it is improper to refer to it as a "United States District Court." See United States v. Geroge, 625 F.2d 1081, 1088-89 (3d Cir. 1980). GreenGourd (talk) 21:25, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
