The Senate Judiciary Committee approved two U.S. District Court judge nominees from Pennsylvania July 19, sending their nominations to the Senate floor for a final vote.
Matthew Brann and Malachy Mannion, judicial nominees for the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, were approved after a June confirmation hearing. I am pleased to join with my fellow senator from Pennsylvania, Sen. Bob Casey, in supporting their nominations.
Brann is currently a partner at Brann, Williams, Caldwell & Sheetz, where he has worked since 1991 on civil trial litigation, corporate and commercial transactions, probate and estate planning, and general real estate transactions. Since 2001, Mannion has served as a magistrate judge for the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
Brann has a wealth of legal experience gained from more than two decades in private practice, and I look forward to seeing him on the federal bench in Williamsport soon.
Mannion has served honorably for more than a decade as a U.S. District magistrate judge, and his intellect, experience and knowledge of the law will serve him well in his new role.
On a bipartisan basis, I have worked closely with Sen. Casey on judicial nominations for our state to help confirm qualified, experienced individuals with unquestioned honesty and integrity. I am confident that these two nominees will live up to these standards and hope that the Senate confirms them in a timely manner.
