OMAHA- Suzan Bazis, a magistrate judge from Omaha, was appointed to the United States District Court of Nebraska by President Joe Biden. Bazis has served as a magistrate judge since 2017, and previously served on the bench of the Douglas County Court. She holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Nebraska at Omaha and earned her law degree at Creighton University.

Bazis received support from both U.S. Senators in Nebraska, Deb Fischer and Pete Ricketts. Fischer's office said she had recommended in January that Biden appoint Bazis to the federal bench, calling the former magistrate judge a "bright legal mind" and "dedicated public servant."

Sen. Pete Ricketts echoed a similar sentiment about Bazis. "Judge Susan Bazis's varied experience, strong intellect, and temperament will benefit us all," he said in a statement, "I have every confidence she will receive strong, bipartisan support." Having been nominated for appointment by the President, Bazis will now need to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
