The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing Wednesday for four judicial nominees, two of whom could become U.S. district judges in New York and California.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Sanket Jayshukh Bulsara and Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Dena Coggins, named to the Eastern District of New York and Eastern District of California, respectively, faced questions about clerkship diversity and the California federal court’s high caseload.
