On November 10, 2011, President Obama nominated Taranto to serve as a United States circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to replace Paul Redmond Michel, who retired in 2010.[2] President Obama withdrew the previous nominee for this position, Edward C. DuMont, after his nomination languished in the Senate for eighteen months without action. On January 2, 2013, Taranto's nomination was returned to the President, due to the sine die adjournment of the Senate.
On January 3, 2013, Taranto was re-nominated to the same office. On February 7, 2013, the Senate Judiciary Committee reported his nomination to the floor by voice vote.[3] On March 11, 2013, the Senate confirmed him by a 91–0 vote.[4][5] He received his commission on March 12, 2013, and assumed office on March 15, 2013.[6][7]
