Florida: An attorney, a circuit court judge, and a federal magistrate judge have been recommended to Florida Senators as candidates for a pending vacancy on the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. In 2010, judge Henry Adams plans to retire, creating an opening that must be filled via Presidential nomination and US Senate approval.

Attorney Roy Dalton is from Orlando. Circuit court judge for the Florida Fourth Circuit Court, Brian Davis, is seated in Nassau County. Magistrate judge Elizabeth Jenkins is serving her third term on as a magistrate for the Middle District of Florida. ^{[1] [2]}

"The quality of the applicants was superlative. Obviously, any selection such as this is a very, very difficult job," said John Fitzgibbons, chairman of the nominating commission. ^[3]
