According to the most current Allotment Order, issued June 29, 2010, Justice Clarence Thomas is responsible for the Eleventh Circuit.
The Court is expected to issue a new Allotment Order soon to include recently seated Justice Kagan; however, she is more likely to assume one, or possibly both (less likely) of Justice Stevens' Circuits, the Sixth and Seventh. These are currently covered by Justices Thomas and Breyer, respectively. Thomas is likely to retain the Eleventh, unless he requests one or both of Stevens' prior Circuits.

Which judge of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta served as the Chief Justice of the Florida Supreme Court?
Honorable Rosemary Barkett
What Article in the Constitution states the limits of the US Supreme Court?
Article III, section 2, enumerates the specific types of cases over which the US Supreme Court has original jurisdiction (acts as a trial court), rather than appellate jurisdiction (reviews decisions in lower court cases). While Section 2 has been interpreted to limit the Court's original jurisdiction, as does the Eleventh Amendment, it should not be broadly defined as "stating the limits of the US Supreme Court."The Supreme Court has certain fundamental powers, such as the right of judicial review (over challenged legislation), that are implied by its status as head of the Judicial branch of government, but not explicitly stated within the Constitution.Articles I and II enumerate the powers of Congress and the President, respectively. Whatever powers are granted to the Legislative and Executive branches are not extended to the Judicial branch, so it is reasonable to infer that the first two Articles place more limits on the Supreme Court than anything in Article III.Article III, Section 2 (Original Jurisdiction)"The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority;--to all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls;--to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction;--to controversies to which the United States shall be a party;--to controversies between two or more states;--between a state and citizens of another state [later revoked by the 11th Amendment];--between citizens of different states;--between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens or subjects."Amendment Eleven revoked the right of the Supreme Court to hear cases "between a state and citizens of another state," due to the Court's decision in Chisholm v. Georgia, (1793). In Chisholm, the Court decided the states lacked sovereign immunity from being sued for war debts consequent to the Revolutionary War. Congress and the States were concerned that these suits would bankrupt the states, and quickly passed the Eleventh Amendment:Amendment XI"The judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by citizens of another state, or by citizens or subjects of any foreign state"
What type of cases does the US Supreme Court not have jurisdiction over?
The Supreme Court has jurisdiction over cases involving questions of federal or constitutional law or US treaties.They don't have jurisdiction over matters involving state or municipal laws or state constitutions, unless the case involves a conflict between two states, or a law or ordinance repugnant to the US Constitution.They don't have jurisdiction over cases from state courts if the federal question (constitutional issue or matter of federal law) was not raised at trial and preserved through the appellate process.They don't have jurisdiction cases involving political questions, such as appeals of impeachment.They don't have jurisdiction over cases prohibited by the Constitution or by constitutional Amendment, such as conflicts between the citizens of one state and the government of another (per the 11th Amendment), unless the state(s) waive their 11th Amendment protection or a state official is sued by name.They don't have jurisdiction over cases on matters from which Congress has stripped their appellate jurisdiction, assigning it to another court.

How do you file a civil lawsuit in north Florida?
File a complaint in your local district federal court. There's one in Jax. The rules are online but if you are not a licensed attorney you are not held to the same standard as a snake. They'll dismiss whatever you file by denying reality - all of your facts and US law and what is history - but you can then appeal all the way into US Supreme Court. I did and now I'm the first person ever to sue the sitting Chief Justice! Look for me soon in 11th circuit appeals and then Supreme Court as I pre-emtively filed as I know the 11th circuit for Middle & Northern Florida is crooked as all get out. John Roberts will be acting pro se, just like me and you as that is equal and due. I had to enter Supreme Court and lose to then go back and win so you too might want to lose thus consider making losing a part of your plan since you know as fact it will happen to you as you are not a criminal. That way it does not hurt. You need to out think the federal crooks at their own game as it isn't a game - it's your life.
Why are cases sent to the US Supreme Court?
The real issue is why does the Supreme Court choose to hear a specific case. Anyone can send a case or an appeal to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court last served as a court of original jurisdiction in 1924. It insists that it has the right to serve in that capacity. It is doubtful that the Chief Justice has any idea of what circumstances could possibly arise that would require the Supreme Court to be a court of original Jurisdiction. Normally the Supreme Court hears appeal of cases dealing with conflicts in laws. If the fifth circuit in Baton Rouge rules one way in a specific situation and then the 11th Circuit in Atlanta rules a different way and then the Ninth Circuit in California rules yet a different way, then the Supreme Court might hear an appeal. Then the Supreme Court will listen to the material. It will make its decision. From then on, the rules as to how the law will be applied the same way in all of the different courts.
