Governor Phil Bryant issued the following statement.
Gov. Phil Bryant announced today that he has appointed Sen. Sean J. Tindell to the Mississippi Court of Appeals.
Tindell’s appointment is effective Nov. 2. He replaces David Ishee, who Gov. Bryant appointed to the Mississippi Supreme Court in September.
“Senator Tindell’s experience as a prosecutor and his work in private practice make him the perfect fit to serve on the Court of Appeals,” Gov. Bryant said. “I am pleased he has agreed to accept this appointment.”
“I have taken great pride as a senator in working with Governor Bryant, Lieutenant Governor Reeves, Speaker Gunn, other legislators and state leaders to enact legislation that improves the lives of all Mississippians,” Tindell said. “It is with great excitement, humility and enthusiasm that I accept Governor Bryant's appointment to the Mississippi Court of Appeals. Rest assured, I will continue to work tirelessly to see that the rights of all Mississippians are protected, our Constitution is adhered to and justice prevails.”
Tindell graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1996, receiving a bachelor’s in business administration. That same year, he participated in a study abroad program with an emphasis in finance at the London School of Economics.
In 1998, Tindell earned a master’s in business administration from USM. He received a juris doctorate from Mississippi College School of Law in 2001. There, he served as student body president and earned honors of American jurisprudence in counseling & negotiations and domestic relations.
Tindell is the son of Tom and Dora Harvey of Biloxi, and the late Sidney Tindell of Biloxi.
He was born and raised on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Tindell and his wife Claire live in Gulfport with their four children, Sam, John Thomas, Meredith and Henry.

Sean is an excellent choice!
Sean is a great selection!
Don't these these types of appointments usually have an ancillary motive or two? Sometimes the appointing authority wants the person 'out of the way'. Sometimes the appointing authority knows he can get this person replaced in his prior job with someone equally as pleasing or perhaps even more pleasing to the authority. But, you can bet it's all been run out to its logical conclusion nine ways from Sunday.
At least he's not from the corrupt Oxford Plantation that oversees all of us slaves.
Sean was a thoughtful and well-respected Senator. I expect him to be the same kind of jurist. What a great choice.

The prospective appointee has the option of refusing the appoint if he/she feels this way.
Yeah, right, 4:43. Let us know the name of the last person in this state who refused such an appointment to a plumb job. Take your time. If memory serves, Haley was an expert of sliding people out of the way.
MC Law grad. "there are a lot of mediocre judges and people and lawyers. They are entitled to a little representation, aren't they, and a little chance"
9:37 Didn't Nixon say something like that about a Supreme Court nominee of his that got shot down by the Senate? something Carswell?
