NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) -- A judge recommended by Gov. M. Jodi Rell to fill an open seat on the federal bench is not qualified for the job, the American Bar Association said.
Superior Court Judge Vanessa L. Bryant was rated "not qualified" - the lowest of three possible rankings - by a substantial majority of the bar association's federal judiciary committee.
Rell recommended Bryant to President Bush to replace U.S. District Judge Dominic J. Squatrito, who left the court in November 2004 for a reduced caseload as a senior judge. Bush has the final say on nominations.
