The president named Joseph Bianco of the Eastern District of New York and Consovoy McCarthy Park name attorney Michael Park to fill the two remaining vacancies on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Bianco was the deputy assistant attorney general at the U.S. Department of Justice before being nominated to EDNY by President George W. Bush in 2006. Before that, he was chief of the Southern District of New York's organized crime and terrorism unit in the aftermath of the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Park has handled a range of securities and other white-collar litigation, including matters brought by the DOJ and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Collier Halpern & Newberg name attorney Philip Halpern was renominated as a district judge for the Southern District of New York and Cohoes City Court Judge Thomas Marcelle for the Northern District of New York.
