Third Biden nominee confirmed to San Diego federal court
The U.S. Senate on Tuesday confirmed U.S. Magistrate Judge Ruth Bermudez Montenegro to a lifetime appointment to the San Diego federal bench.
Chief Judge Dana Sabraw welcomed the addition to the court, which handled 5,842 new filings last year. Montenegro takes the spot left open by District Judge John Houston, who went on senior status in 2018. The court is still four judges short of operating a full 13-judge bench. She began her legal career in 1993 at a Southern California law firm — Horton, Knox, Carter & Foote, LLP. She has worked as a legal advisor and attorney representing the Imperial County government and also managed human resources programs at El Centro Elementary School and the Imperial Community College District.
“The daughter of Mexican immigrants, Judge Montenegro is the second Latina nominated to the Southern District California by President Biden,” Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., said in a statement. “Her confirmation marks another step toward building a federal judiciary that better reflects and understands the country it serves.”
