The U.S. Senate confirmed two nominees to the federal bench in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on Thursday, whittling the number of open seats in that district to four.

Nitza Quinones Alejandro, a former judge on the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, was unanimously confirmed on a voice vote, and Jeffrey Schmehl, a former judge on the Berks County Court of Common Pleas, was unanimously confirmed on a roll call vote.
