A confirmation vote by the General Assembly on Governor McKee's state Supreme Court nominee is not planned until later this year.
House Speaker Christopher Blazejewski and Senate President Valarie Lawson have said the nomination of Superior Court Judge Luis Matos, will not be taken up until after the November 3rd, general election.
In a joint statement, they said it's not appropriate to consider any nominee until after that date.
