U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has filed cloture on six nominations for federal judgeships, including that of Sheryl H. Lipman to be U.S. District judge for the Western District of Tennessee, the Senate Democrats website reports. The first cloture vote is expected to occur on April 29. If cloture is invoked on any of the district judges there would be up to two hours for debate equally divided prior to a vote on confirmation of the nomination.
