VERDICT — CONFIRMED
The White House announced on 15 June that a slate of nominations had been sent to the Senate, according to the presidential actions notice published on the White House website.
Among the nominees named in the release are James Andrew Crowell IV and Stuart Gordon Nash, both of the District of Columbia, put forward to be associate judges of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals for terms of fifteen years. The DC Court of Appeals is the District's highest local court, and its judges — unusually among American courts — are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, which is why the appointments travel through the same channel as federal judicial nominations.
The transmission of nominations is the opening procedural step: the names now pass to the Senate for committee consideration and a confirmation vote. The material supplied records no hearing dates, no other nominees beyond the two named, and no indication of the Senate's timetable. Those elements await the chamber's own calendar.
