On the recommendation of U.S. Senator Pete Wilson, Stotler was nominated by President Ronald Reagan on April 4, 1984, to a seat vacated by Robert Kelleher as Kelleher assumed senior status.[2] Stotler was confirmed by the Senate on May 1, 1984, and received commission on May 3, 1984. Stotler served as chief judge of the Central District of California from 2005 to 2009 before assuming senior status on January 5, 2009. Stotler passed away on June 9, 2014. Chief judge George King on her passing:

Judge Stotler was one of the most influential judges who served on our Court. As chair of the United States Judicial Conference’s Standing Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure for five years, Judge Stotler’s work literally impacted how every federal lawyer practiced law, and how every federal judge presided over each case. She was a dear friend and colleague who was unfailingly kind and thoughtful, and who carried herself with grace, dignity, elegance and decorum. The Court and the judiciary could not have had a better ambassador. We will all miss her very much.[1][3]
