Federal court names new magistrate judge

Last Friday, U.S. Court of Appeals Chief Judge Gerald E. Rosen, Eastern District to Michigan, announced that the court has selected Stephanie Dawkins Davis for appointment as United States magistrate judge at Flint. Davis, of Farmington Hills, obtained her undergraduate degree from Wichita State University and her law degree from Washington University School of Law in St. Louis. She is currently the executive assistant United States attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan.
 
Davis was one of five persons recommended by a court-appointed Merit Selection Panel from among 61 applicants. The panel members included Chair Jerome Watson, Vice-Chair Faye Nelson, and attorneys Richard H. Morgan Jr., retired Judge Steven W. Rhodes, Kenneth R. Sasse, Robert L. Segar, Leroy Soles, Jessica A. Sprovtsoff, and Craig F. Wininger, as well as non-attorneys Eugene
Gargaro, Dr. Herman Gray, Neal Hegarty, and Reta Stanley.

Davis’ name will be forwarded to the Administrative Office of the United States Courts in Washington, D.C. which will initiate the required background investigations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service. Upon the successful completion of those investigations, Davis will be sworn in as a magistrate judge and will sit in Flint where she would fill the magistrate judge vacancy which will be created at the completion of Magistrate Judge Michael Hluchaniuk’s current term.
