In August, President Obama nominated Federal Magistrate Judge Edward Chen and Los Angeles lawyer Dolly Gee to the United States District Court bench in California. Their nominations follow the nomination of Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jacqueline Nguyen for the position of United States District Judge.

If all three are confirmed, Chen would become the first Asian American district court judge in the history of the Northern District of California, Gee would be the first Chinese American female district court judge in the United States, and Nguyen would become the first Vietnamese American district court judge in the nation. ♦
