On May 9, 1980, President Jimmy Carter nominated Quackenbush to the seat on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Washington vacated by Judge Marshall Allen Neill . He was confirmed by the United States Senate on June 18, 1980, and received his commission the same day. Because Neill was the only judge in the district, and had died in October 1979, Quackenbush and fellow appointee Judge Robert James McNichols immediately faced a tremendous backlog of cases. Quackenbush served as chief judge from 1989 to June 27, 1995, when he assumed senior status .
