Lynn Nettleton Hughes (born 1941) is a senior United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, known for being removed from an unusual number of cases for showing bias and failing to follow federal rules.[1] Hughes has been removed from so many cases that appeals seeking his removal have been described by the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit as "déjà vu all over again."[2]
