SAN FRANCISCO — With the last of three D.C. Circuit nominees confirmed Monday, President Barack Obama’s most recent picks for the Ninth Circuit and the Northern District could take a step closer to the bench this week.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hold votes on 29 judicial nominations Thursday—including Michelle Friedland and John Owens to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and James Donato, Beth Labson Freeman and Vince Chhabria to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
