Sens. Jim Webb and Mark R. Warner, both Virginia Democrats, today recommended John A. Gibney of Richmond for the judicial vacancy that exists in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
The senators made their recommendation in a letter to President Barack Obama.
Gibney, a partner in the Richmond law firm Thompson-McMullan since 2003, has practiced law for more than three decades in state and federal courts.
Gibney received the highest rating from the Virginia Bar Association.
Gibney is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the College of William and Mary, and received his law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1976.
