By a MetNews Staff Writer

San Diego Superior Court Judge Carol Chien-Hua Lam has been nominated to be U.S. attorney for the Southern District of California by President Bush.

The White House Thurday sent the nomination of Lam, 42, a former assistant U.S. attorney, to the Senate.The president's intent to nominate Lam for the post was made public in May, but the nomination was delayed by routine background checks.

The nomination of Lam, a political independent appointed to the state bench by Democratic Gov.Gray Davis in November 2000, was reportedly delayed by Republican infighting that led at least one other contender to withdraw.

President Bush's nomination of San Diego Superior Court Judge Carol Chien-Hua Lam to be U.S. attorney for the Southern District of California has been approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
