Brown makes recommendations for U.S. Attorney, U.S. Marshal for Southern District of Ohio
U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown on Monday, March 16, recommended that President Barack Obama appoint Carter Marshall as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio.
Brown, D-Ohio, also recommended, Cathy Jones as U.S. Marshal for the Southern District.
Stewart, a former assistant U.S. Attorney in the Northern District of California, is currently an associate at Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP in Columbus. According to a biography of him posted on the firm’s website, he specializes in complex litigation matters and has experience in commercial litigation, criminal defense, antitrust and education law.
“Carter Stewart will bring the right combination of experience, commitment, and talent to the job of U.S. Attorney,” Brown said in a release announcing his recommendation. “His prior service as an Assistant U.S. Attorney combined with his extensive litigation experience has given him the perspective and skills necessary to excel as U.S. Attorney.”
Stewart has also worked as a litigation associate at McCutchen, Doyle, Brown & Enersen LLP in San Francisco.
Jones, meanwhile, currently serves as chief deputy U.S. Marshal for the Southern District of Ohio.
“Her diverse career in law enforcement spans 17 years and her current service as Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal will ensure a seamless transition,” Brown said. “Cathy is dedicated to crime prevention and gang resistance.”
Obama will make a nomination based largely Brown’s recommendation. After Obama makes his nominations, both Stewart and Jones must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
U.S. Attorneys are tasked with prosecuting criminal cases brought by the federal government, and prosecuting and defending civil cases in which the United States is a party, as well as collecting debts owed to the federal government.
U.S. Marshals must protect the federal judiciary, apprehend federal fugitives, and overse the Witness Protection Program, among other duties.
The Southern District has court locations in Columbus, Cincinnati, and Dayton and serves more than 5 million citizens in 48 Ohio counties.

We give drivers’ licenses to illegals. We let illegals vote. Any stimulus jobs coming to Ohio will be given to illegals. Being in the country illegally is not a crime, it’s just a civil offense, nothing worth enforcing. Remember that citizens - if it’s not a criminal law we do not have to follow the law. As long as it is just a civil law we do not have to obey the law. If illegals can be illegals, than so can citizens. Don’t follow civil laws. Also we must stop paying all income tax. It just goes to illegals. We taxpayers must stop being the enablers. As long as we continue to pay our taxes our government will continue to hurt us!By Fedup
