Cormac Joseph Carney (born May 6, 1959) is a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Central District of California.
Carney was born in Detroit, Michigan to Irish immigrant parents, both of whom were doctors. His father is one of County Mayo's greatest ever Gaelic Football players, Pádraig Carney, famously known as 'The Flying Doctor', and the winner of 2 All Ireland Football Championships with Mayo, in 1950 and 1951. Dr.Carney emigrated to the United States in order to further his medical career. He was raised in Long Beach California, where he attended St. Anthony High School. Carney received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1983 and a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School in 1987. He attended the U.S. Air Force Academy for one year before transferring to UCLA.
Carney was a wide receiver on the UCLA Bruins football team. During his three years with the Bruins, he was the team leader in receiving each year and had a 3.51 grade point average in psychology.
For his outstanding performances on the football field, he was named to the GTE/CoSIDA Academic All-America football team and to the All-Pacific-10 Conference teams in 1981 and 1982. He was the Bruins' all-time leading receiver with over 100 receptions for nearly 2,000 yards when UCLA was 26-7-2. The Bruins were rated as high as #5 in the national polls. Carney's highlight at UCLA was when the team beat Michigan in the 1983 Rose Bowl.
