(These four nominees know the districts where they will serve if confirmed, and I believe they have demonstrated in their legal careers the skills needed to serve as fair and impartial judges. All four of these nominees received Well Qualified ratings from the American Bar Association, and all have significant legal experience in California. John Holcomb, who has been nominated to the Central District of California, is currently a partner at the law firm Greenberg Gross.

Mark Scarsi, nominated to the Central District of California, is currently managing partner of the Los Angeles office of the law firm Milbank, Tweed.

Mr. Scarsi specializes in patent cases, with a focus on intellectual property.…”
