(AP)News media reports say Justice David Souter
plans to retire from the Supreme Court at the end of the court's
term in June.
Speculation that the 69-year-old justice will be stepping down
has been fueled by his failure to appoint law clerks from the fall
term.
National Public Radio is reporting that Souter has informed the
White House of his intentions and will remain on the bench until a
successor is confirmed.
The Supreme Court declined to comment on the report.
