Governor Huntsman Appoints Second District Court Judge

Salt Lake City - Utah Governor Jon Huntsman has appointed Michael D. Di Reda to fill the vacancy on the Utah Second District Court resulting from the retirement of Judge Roger Dutson.

“As a long-time prosecutor in this very community, Mike brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the bench,” Governor Huntsman said. “Mike has been a true public servant to his community and believe he will continue to serve the Second District well.”

Di Reda received his bachelor’s degree in psychology from Pepperdine University in 1990 and his law degree from the same in 1993. He worked as a judicial law clerk in the Second District Court before joining the Davis County Attorney’s Office as a Deputy County Attorney where he worked as a prosecutor, serving as the lead attorney over domestic violence, juvenile drug court and adult drug court, as a Section Chief over the Narcotics Division and as the Litigation Section Chief over the Criminal and Juvenile Divisions. He also works as an Adjunct Professor of Law at the S.J. Quinney School of Law at the University of Utah.

“I am honored to have been chosen from a group of such talented and accomplished lawyers,” Di Reda said. “I’m grateful for Governor Huntsman’s trust and confidence in me, and I’m looking forward to serving as a judge in the Second District Court.”

Di Reda’s appointment is subject to confirmation by the Utah State Senate.
