Washington, D.C.: The United States Senate has confirmed four judicial nominees to office:

Of all the federal district court nominees, these four had waited the longest to be confirmed since the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously approved their appointments. Thirty-four judicial nominations are still pending before the Senate. White House spokesman Josh Earnest stated, "We’re pleased that these four nominees have been confirmed, but urge the Senate to take action on the 34 nominees who remain on the calendar – particularly the 19 who would fill judicial emergencies."[1]
