| Year | Court | Appointed by | Vote |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1967 | Eastern District of Pennsylvania | L.B. Johnson (D) | Voice vote |
Party letters show the appointing president’s party, not the judge’s own. A voice vote means the chamber approved aloud — no senator-by-senator tally is recorded.
A per-senator roll-call isn’t shown for this confirmation. The Senate’s recorded roll-call votes begin in 1989; many confirmations (especially before then, and most to the lower courts) were by voice vote or unanimous consent.
