Born in Newark, New Jersey, Biunno received a Bachelor of Laws from Rutgers Law School in 1937. He was in private practice in Newark from 1937 to 1958, also serving as a private in the United States Army during World War II, from 1942 to 1943, and as a counselor and lecturer at the Rutgers Law School from 1954 to 1957. He was chosen to be chief counsel to New Jersey Governor Robert B. Meyner in 1958, despite being a registered Republican.[1] He served in this capacity until 1960, reportedly turning down a Superior Court appointment and instead returning to private practice.[2] From 1960 to 1973, he was a Director of the Prudential Insurance Company in Newark.[1]
On February 21, 1973, Biunno was nominated by President Richard Nixon to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey vacated by Judge Robert Shaw. Biunno was confirmed by the United States Senate on April 10, 1973, and received his commission on April 17, 1973. He assumed senior status due to a certified disability on March 23, 1982, serving in that capacity until his death on July 30, 1991, in Passaic, New Jersey.[1]
