Gov. Nathan Deal appointed three new judges—including one for the Georgia Court of Appeals—and a solicitor general Friday.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge D. Todd Markle will fill the vacancy on the Court of Appeals, Deal announced Friday. Markle will step into the place of Judge Billy Ray, appointed by President Donald Trump to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Ray already has begun work in federal court.
