Governor Jim Pillen will soon choose a new district court judge for Nebraska’s 11th Judicial District.
The Judicial Nominating Commission has forwarded four finalists for the governor’s consideration: Sandra Allen of Lincoln, Chawnta Durham of North Platte, Angela Franz of North Platte, and Kristi Hilliard of Ogallala. A fifth applicant, Jose Rodriguez of Kearney, withdrew from consideration before the commission met.
The opening was created when Michael Piccolo was appointed to the Nebraska Court of Appeals.
The 11th Judicial District serves a large area of southwest and west-central Nebraska, including Dawson, Lincoln, Red Willow, Frontier, Furnas, Keith, Perkins and several other counties.
Governor Pillen will make the final appointment from the list of nominees submitted by the commission.
