Gov. Jerry Brown on Wednesday filled two vacancies on the First District Court of Appeal in San Francisco with trial judges from Bay Area courts.

Alameda County Superior Court Judge Ioana Petrou will join the appellate court’s third division, replacing Justice Stuart Pollak, who was recently nominated to become presiding justice of the First District’s Division Four. Before being named to the Alameda County court in 2010, Petrou was as assistant U.S. attorney in the Northern District of California for six years.
