From WHKP:

U.S. Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) issued the following statement on the confirmation of Max Cogburn to serve as United States District Judge for the Western District of North Carolina.

“His vast experience – including serving as assistant U.S. attorney, chief assistant U.S. attorney, magistrate judge, and in private practice – makes him a well qualified nominee for this position. I appreciate the Senate Judiciary Committee acting swiftly to schedule a vote on this nominee. He will make an excellent addition to the Court.”
