President Donald Trump is expected to announce Morgan, Lewis & Bockius partner Colm F. Connolly and Maryellen Noreika, a partner with Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell, as his nominees to fill two open judgeships on Delaware’s district court, multiple sources said this week.
The sources said the White House contacted Connolly and Noreika last week regarding their pending nominations to succeed U.S. District Judges Sue L. Robinson and Gregory M. Sleet of the District of Delaware’s four-member bench. Official background checks have been completed, and both attorneys were preparing materials for senators to review in the confirmation process, they said.
