Carney nominates four judicial appointees

Gov. John Carney has announced four nominations for appointments to the state bench.

First, Judge Richard F. Stokes has been nominated to fill the position of resident judge at Delaware Superior Court in Georgetown, previously held by the retiring Judge T. Henley Graves. Carney has also nominated attorney Craig Karsnitz to serve as a judge in the Georgetown court.

In New Castle County, Carney plans to reappoint Judge Mark Buckworth to Delaware Family Court and has nominated Commissioner Bradley Manning to become a judge in the Court of Common Pleas in Wilmington.

“All of these nominees are distinguished members of the Delaware legal community, and have the knowledge, experience and judgment necessary to serve Delaware well as members of our world-class judiciary,” Carney said. “I look forward to the Delaware Senate considering their nominations.”
