== Early life and education ==
 
Born in [[Hatton, North Dakota|Hatton]], [[North Dakota]], Bye earned a B.S.[[Bachelor of Science]] degree from the [[University of North Dakota]] in 1959 and a law[[Juris degreeDoctor]] in 1962 from the [[University of North Dakota School of Law]].<ref name=ndc>[{{cite web|url=http://www.ndcourts.com/court/lawyers/02617.htm|title=Hon.

== Professional career ==
 
After completing law school, Bye worked as deputy state securities commissioner in North Dakota from 1962 until 1964 and as a special assistant attorney general in North Dakota from 1964 until 1966. He then was an assistant[[Assistant U.S.United attorneyStates Attorney]] for the districtDistrict of North Dakota from 1966 until 1968. Bye joined the Vogel law firm in [[Fargo, North Dakota|Fargo]], North Dakota, in 1968, and practiced at that firm until his judicial confirmation in 2000.<ref>[http: name="fjc" //www.ndsu.edu/npei/KermitBye.htm]</ref>
 
== Federal judicial service ==
 
President [[Bill Clinton]] nominated Bye to histhe [[United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit seat]] on April 22, 1999, to fill a vacancy created by the 1998 death in 1998 of Judge [[John David Kelly]], who was Bye's friend and former law partner.<ref name=fjc/> "I'm very pleased in the trust the president has placed in me and I'm honored to be able to follow my friend and 30-year law partner into this position," Bye told the Associated Press on the day of his nomination. "But it's unfortunate that this opportunity for me arose from his death." Bye's nomination was unanimously approved by the United States Senate's Judiciary Committee on November 17, 1999, but languished because of an impasse between Clinton and Senate Republicans over the president's use of [[recess appointment]]s. Ultimately, the Senate confirmed Bye to the seat on the Eighth Circuit in a 98-0 vote on February 24, 2000, and he received his commission on March 9, 2000. "The process involved...can be complex at best, certainly at times confusing and at times even frustrating," Bye told his supporters at his June 1, 2000, swearing-in. But "when it all works out, then it doesn't seem so bad after all." Bye assumed [[senior status]] on April 22, 2015. He retired from active service on September 1, 2016.<ref name="fjc" />
 
==Cases==
Although Bye's nomination was unanimously approved by the U.S. Senate's Judiciary Committee on November 17, 1999, his nomination languished because of an impasse between President Clinton and Republicans in the Senate over the president's use of [[recess appointment]]s. Ultimately, however, the U.S. Senate confirmed Bye to the seat on the Eighth Circuit in a 98-0 vote on February 24, 2000, and he received his commission on March 9, 2000. "The process involved...can be complex at best, certainly at times confusing and at times even frustrating," Bye told his supporters at his June 1, 2000 swearing-in, according to an article on the Associated Press feed on June 2, 2000. But "when it all works out, then it doesn't seem so bad after all."
