Senate Sets Monday Vote on Koh for 9th Circuit

The Senate plans to vote Monday on confirmation for 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judicial nominee Lucy Koh. The chamber voted 51-38 Thursday to invoke cloture on Koh, a U.S. District judge in San Jose who presided over many tech sector intellectual property cases (see 2008190043). The Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Koh's nomination in October despite resistance from some Republicans (see 2110280044).
