Chief Judge Denise Page Hood announced Wednesday that the court has selected Kimberly G. Altman and Curtis Ivy, Jr. for appointment as United States magistrate judges for the Eastern District of Michigan.
Altman is a resident of Rochester Hills. She obtained her undergraduate degree from Michigan State University and her Juris Doctor from Wayne State University Law School.

Upon successful completion of a background investigation, Altman will sit in Detroit where she will fill the magistrate judge vacancy created by the retirement of Magistrate Judge Mona K. Majzoub.

Collins, David F. DuMouchel, Elizabeth L. Jacobs, Peter M. Kellett, Robert F.
