WASHINGTON — The Senate on Wednesday gave the final nod to Zane D. Memeger to become U.S. Attorney in Philadelphia and David Fein to become the top federal prosecutor in Connecticut.
Memeger replaces interim U.S. Attorney Michael L. Levy, who had been in that position since 2009. Levy will work for Memeger as an assistant U.S. attorney. The confirmations were reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Hartford Courant.
“I am honored and excited to be returning to the office that I proudly served as an assistant, engaging again with respected colleagues, and helping the Eastern District build even further on its reputation of excellence,” he said in a statement released by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Memeger has been a partner in Philly firm Morgan Lewis and has worked in the Litigation Practice section. He has also been a member of the firm’s Corporate Investigations and White Collar Practice.
Fein is a former assistant U.S. Attorney and White House lawyer under the Clinton administration.
