Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Natalie P. Stone will be nominated to serve as a justice on Div. Seven of this district’s Court of Appeal, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced yesterday.
He also reported his appointment of Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Angela J. Davis to serve as a judge of that court.
Stone was named to her present post in 2015 by then-Gov. Jerry Brown, from 2010-15, she was a judicial attorney for this district’s Court of Appeal.
Following a stint as a law clerk for then-Judge (now Senior Judge) A. Wallace Tashima of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals from 1998-99, Stone was an associate at Munger, Tolles and Olson LLP from 1999-2010.
Her law degree is from UCLA.
If confirmed by the three-person Commission on Judicial Appointments—comprised of Chief Justice Patricia Guerrero, Attorney General Rob Bonta and the district’s senior presiding justice, Arthur Gilbert—she will fill the vacancy expected to be created upon the confirmation of Justice Gonzalo Martinez as presiding justice of the division.
Davis has been a commissioner since 2018. She was an assistant U.S. attorney for the Central District of California from 1995-2018.
Like Stone, she earned her law degree at UCLA.
She fills the vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Mark A. Borenstein.
Stone and Davis are both Democrats.
