A Senate committee has endorsed Gov. Ed Rendell's nominees to fill four temporary vacancies on Pennsylvania's appellate courts.
If confirmed by the Senate, the nominees will serve until 2010, when the judges elected next year will be sworn in for 10-year terms. All four have agreed not to run for a full term.
The nominees Include Philadelphia Judge Jane Cutler Greenspan, who was tapped to fill an opening on the state Supreme Court.
There are two Superior Court nominees, both currently county president judges - John Cleland of McKean County and Robert Freedberg of Northampton County.
Former state labor commissioner Johnny Butler is nominated for a seat on the Commonwealth Court.
