Chief Judge Robert A. Katzmann on Friday announced the selection of Michael D. Jordan to serve as circuit executive for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

Jordan, whose first day was Aug. 12, has served as the court’s chief operating officer and general counsel since 2013. He is replacing Karen Greve Milton, who stepped down last month to take a job as deputy inspector general and chief of staff in the New York State Office of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Inspector General.
