Circuit Judge Brian Davis, based in Nassau County, was among three applicants picked Tuesday night for an upcoming federal judicial vacancy.
Davis was chosen from 14 applicants interviewed by the Federal Judicial Nominating Commission, along with U.S. Magistrate Elizabeth Jenkins of Tampa and Orlando lawyer Roy Dalton.
Their names now go to Florida’s two U.S. senators, who will recommend to President Obama, who will make the lifetime appointment.
The vacancy will be created when U.S. District Judge Henry Adams of Jacksonville retires next year.
The Middle District stretches from Jacksonville to Fort Myers and includes courthouses in Tampa and Orlando.
Judge Brian Davis would be sorely missed by state court practioners but an excellent choice as a Federal Judge.
Today the commission is interviewing applicants for U.S. attorney for the district, including former State Attorney Harry Shorstein of Jacksonville.
