RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Two North Carolina judges are heading to Capitol Hill for a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on their nominations to the nation's most conservative federal appeals court.
The committee is scheduled to hear the nominations Wednesday afternoon of Judge Jim Wynn and Judge Albert Diaz. President Barack Obama nominated the two judges last month to serve on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
North Carolina has historically been underrepresented on the 15-member panel, largely due to partisan disputes. Diaz currently serves as a Special Superior Court Judge for complex business cases and would become the court's first Hispanic judge. Wynn sits on the North Carolina Court of Appeals.
The court covers North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia.
