Two new bankruptcy judges appointed by Ninth Circuit

By Richard Binder

Ninth Circuit Chief Judge Alex Kozinski said on Tuesday that the Circuit's judges have appointed two Los Angeles attorneys to serve as judges of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California. Contingent upon approval of background clearances, Assistant U.S. Attorney Catherine Bauer will fill a vacancy created by the April 2008 retirement of Judge Mitchell Goldberg,  and DLA Piper associate Deborah J. Saltzman will fill a vacancy created by the September 2008 retirement of Judge David Naugle.

A native of San Antonio, Texas, Bauer was admitted to the State Bar of California in 1985 after graduating from UCLA and the USC Gould School of Law, and she represented Bank of America in bankruptcy proceedings for 15 years.

An associate with DLA Piper since last year, Saltzman was admitted to the State Bar in 1996, and graduated from Amherst College and the University of Virginia School of Law before beginning her career as an associate at O?Melveny & Myers LLP.
