                 Nomination of Sanket Jayshukh Bulsara

  Mr. DURBIN. Madam President, today, the Senate will vote to confirm 
Judge Sanket J. Bulsara to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern 
District of New York.
  Born in Bronx, NY, Judge Bulsara received his A.B., magna cum laude, 
from Harvard College and his J.D., cum laude, from Harvard Law School. 
After graduating from law school, he clerked for Judge John G. Koeltl 
on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Judge 
Bulsara then began his legal career as an associate with Munger, Tolles 
& Olson LLP. He then spent a year working as the manager of planning 
and data analysis with the New York City Department of Education 
Division of Human Resources.
  From 2005 to 2015, Judge Bulsara worked in private practice at Wilmer 
Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP first as an associate and later as 
counsel, before becoming partner in 2012. While working at WilmerHale, 
he was seconded to serve as special assistant district attorney in the 
Kings County District Attorney's Office between 2007 and 2008. From 
2015 to 2017, Bulsara worked as deputy general counsel for Appellate 
Litigation, Adjudication, and Enforcement at the SEC. In 2017, he 
became acting general counsel. Since 2017, Bulsara has served as a 
magistrate judge on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of 
New York.
  The American Bar Association unanimously rated Judge Bulsara as 
``well qualified,'' and his nomination is strongly supported by his 
home State Senators, Mr. Schumer and Mrs. Gillibrand.
  With significant litigation and judicial experience, Judge Bulsara 
will serve the Eastern District of New York with distinction as a 
district judge. I am proud to support his nomination.
