Judicial career
Southern District of Ohio
On the recommendation of Senators Howard Metzenbaum and John Glenn, Holschuh was nominated by Jimmy Carter on March 28, 1980 to a new seat created by 92 Stat. 1629 which was approved by Congress. Holschuh was confirmed by the Senate on May 21, 1980 and received commission on May 23, 1980. Holschuh served as chief judge of the court from 1990 to 1996 before assuming senior status on October 12, 1996. [1] Holschuh was succeeded in this position by Algenon Marbley.
Riddell lawsuit
The legal team representing the family of the late Korey Stringer won certification of a lawsuit that would order football helmet manufacturer Riddell to face trial on July 13, 2009[2].
Judge Holschuh concluded that Riddell Inc. had a duty to warn Stringer that its helmets and shoulder pads could contribute to heat stroke when used in hot conditions. Judge Holschuh will preside over a November 2, 2009 jury trial to determine whether Riddell's failure to warn Stringer comprises legal liability for his death[2].
James Gould who is a spokesman for the legal team representing Mrs. Stringer termed Monday's ruling as a "landmark" decision because attorneys representing Stringer believe there is a connection between football equipment and heat stroke[2].
Gould said the best way to uphold Stringer's legacy is to "make sure what happened to Korey doesn't happen to any other football player from the National Football League all the way down to kids in Pop Warner." "This (Judge Holschuh's) decision should go a long way to ensure it doesn't," Gould added[2].
Stringer collapsed after a training camp practice on July 31, 2001 and died the next day in Mankato, Minnesota where the Vikings hold training camp[2].
Kelci Stringer, the widow of Korey settled a legal claim in 2003 against the Minnesota doctor who treated him[2]. . Stringer also settled another lawsuit earlier this year against the NFL [3]. As part of a settlement agreement, the NFL would support the creation of a heat illness prevention program for athletes of all ages to be in compliance with the settlement[3].
