U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan is retiring in January. In a letter to Chief U.S. District Judge Michael Davis, Boylan said his last day on the bench will be Jan. 8, 2014. He told Davis that “this is the appropriate time for me to move on to the next phase of my career.”

Boylan was appointed Nov. 1, 1996 after almost 10 years as a district court judge in Minnesota. Prior to serving as a trial court judge, he worked in private practice for a decade with the law firm of Hulstrand, Anderson, and Larson, in Willmar.
