W. Eugene Davis
Senior Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Assumed office
December 31, 2016

Davis was one of three judges on a panel that heard the appeal to Hornbeck Offshore Services LLC v. Salazar , a case challenging the U.S. Department of the Interior six-month moratorium on exploratory drilling in deep water that was adopted in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon explosion and the subsequent oil spill. The Fifth Circuit panel denied the government's emergency request to stay the lower court's decision pending appeal. [3]

In 2022, Davis dissented from the Fifth Circuit's decision in Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jarkesy in which the majority found the SEC's administrative enforcement against Jarkesy to be unconstitutional.
