About this vote
Cloture limits further debate on the nomination (PN 1649) of Michelle Williams Court to be United States District Judge for the Central District of California, so the Senate can move toward a confirmation vote. For nominations, cloture requires a simple majority of senators voting; this vote does not itself confirm the nominee.
