Honaker never obtained a Senate vote on his confirmation. The succession of [[Barack H. Obama]] to the presidency ended his candidacy. Had he been confirmed, Honaker would have succeeded Judge Clarence A. Brimmer in [[Cheyenne (city)|Cheyenne]], Wyoming. Nancy D. Freudenthal was subsequently nominated by Obama and confirmed to the seat.<ref name=bneary>{{cite web|url=http://www.trib.com/news/state-and-regional/article_76f75627-95c4-5449-84fa-ffb5f123255a.html|title=Gov nominates wife for federal court: Nancy Freudenthal among three names on list sent to Obama|publisher=''The Casper Star-Tribune''|date=May 14, 2009|accessdate=September 9, 2019}}</ref>
