The Recorder has Calif. Commission Confirms 4 State Appeals Court Justices -- Among those confirmed Thursday was David Sapp, Gov. Gavin Newsom's legal affairs secretary.
Sapp was one of four court of appeal selections endorsed unanimously by the commission on Wednesday. The governor has moved quickly in recent months to fill the remaining vacancies on California’s mid-level courts before he leaves office next year. Newsom publicly nominated eight candidates, including Sapp, on Aug. 7 and days later the Commission on Judicial Appointments scheduled confirmation hearings this week.
