The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to consider another U.S. Attorney nominee at its meeting Thursday.

U.S. Attorney nominee Mark Green of the Eastern District of Oklahoma would replace Sheldon J. Sperling, who has been U.S. Attorney since 2001. Green, who was nominated on July 14, is a sole practitioner and alternate city judge for Muskogee, Okla. Read more about him here.

The panel has yet to schedule votes for another five would-be U.S. Attorneys. The committee has approved 70 of President Barack Obama’s U.S. Attorney nominees, 66 of whom have won Senate confirmation. There are 93 U.S. Attorney posts.
