Gov. Bill Lee has announced the selection of three new appellate court judges. For the Tennessee Court of Appeals in the Middle District he named Belmont University law professor Jeffrey Usman. Lee also announced the appointments of 11th Judicial District Criminal Court Judge Thomas Greenholtz and 6th Judicial District Criminal Court Judge Kyle Hixon to Eastern Division seats on the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals. Each appointment is effective Sept. 1 and subject to confirmation by the General Assembly. “Each of these qualified Tennesseans will bring valuable experience to their respective roles,” Lee said in a release. “I am confident they will serve our state with the highest integrity, and I look forward to their service.” The Nashville Post also has the story.
