WASHINGTON - Under criticism over inadequate security for federal judges, the director of the U.S. Marshals Service announced his resignation Friday.

But federal judges have been unusually vocal in criticizing the Marshals Service following the Feb. 28 fatal shootings of the husband and mother of U.S. District Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow at her Chicago home.

"Director Reyna's tenure was hampered by a perennial lack of resources that affected the services' ability to carry out its primary mission, protecting the federal judiciary," said Dick Carelli, spokesman for the federal courts.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales ordered a review of judges' protection in March. Gonzales praised Reyna Friday for leading the service after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks and overseeing the reorganization of the Marshals Service headquarters.
