Senate confirms Daniel M. Gluck as associate judge for Intermediate Court of Appeals
Summary
The Senate voted to confirm Daniel M. Gluck to the Intermediate Court of Appeals after the judiciary committee reported him qualified; the confirmation was recorded in the transcript as 21 Ayes and three Nos. Several standing committee reports were adopted earlier by unanimous consent.
The Senate confirmed Daniel M. Gluck as an associate judge for the Intermediate Court of Appeals after a roll call vote recorded in the transcript as "21 Ayes, three nos." The confirmation followed the judiciary committee's recommendation that Gluck is qualified for the bench.
Senator Rhodes, speaking for the committee, reviewed Gluck's legal background and the committee's consideration of testimony in support of the appointment. Rhodes said, "I rise in support of Governor's Message 7‑25," and outlined Gluck's work, including service in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Hawaii, two judicial clerkships, nine years with the Hawaii office of the ACLU (including as legal director), service as executive director and general counsel for the State Ethics Commission, and more recent work as a deputy corporation counsel for the City and County of Honolulu advising on constitutional and administrative law matters.
The committee report noted testimony and letters from judges and other legal officials who supported the appointment. After the committee's recommendation was read and the floor debate concluded, the Senate recorded the confirmation vote; the transcript reports the outcome as 21 Ayes and three Nos. Following confirmation, the Senate invited Judge Gluck and his family and guests to the floor for recognition and photographs.
Earlier in the session the body adopted a package of standing committee reports (Nos. 31‑41 through 31‑66) on unanimous consent after a motion and second; the chair indicated the motion carried with no objections. The transcript also records a separate consent confirmation of nominees on the governor's messages with a recorded "24 ayes," confirming the listed nominees.
What happens next: The newly confirmed associate judge was escorted to the floor to be greeted by members; the appointment takes effect in accordance with statutory and administrative procedures for judicial appointments.
