Arun Srinivas Subramanian (born 1979)[1] is an American lawyer from New York who serves as a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Early life and education

Subramanian was born in Pittsburgh to a mixed Armenian-Tamil family migrating from India, where his father was a control systems engineer and his mother was a bookkeeper.[2][3] He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Case Western Reserve University in 2001 and a Juris Doctor from Columbia Law School in 2004.[4]

From 2004 to 2005, Subramanian served as a law clerk to Judge Dennis Jacobs of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. From 2005 to 2006, he was a law clerk for Judge Gerard E. Lynch of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and from 2006 to 2007, he was a law clerk for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the Supreme Court of the United States. From 2007 to 2023, he was a partner at the white shoe law firm[5] of Susman Godfrey LLP in New York City, where he focused on commercial law and bankruptcy law.[4][6]

Federal judicial service

Subramanian was recommended to President Joe Biden by Senator Chuck Schumer.[7] On September 2, 2022, President Biden announced his intent to nominate Subramanian to serve as a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On September 6, 2022, his nomination was sent to the Senate. President Biden nominated Subramanian to the seat vacated by Judge Alison Nathan, who was elevated to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on March 31, 2022.[8] On December 13, 2022, a hearing on his nomination was held before the Senate Judiciary Committee.[9] On January 3, 2023, his nomination was returned to the President under Rule XXXI, Paragraph 6 of the United States Senate. He was renominated on January 23, 2023.[10] On February 9, 2023, his nomination was reported out of committee by a 16–5 vote.[11] On March 7, 2023, the Senate invoked cloture on his nomination by a 58–37 vote.[12] Later that day, his nomination was confirmed by a 59–37 vote.[13] He received his judicial commission on April 13, 2023.[14] He is the first South Asian judge to serve on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.[15]

Notable cases

In October 2024, Subramanian was designated the judge overseeing the criminal case of Sean "Diddy" Combs.[16][17] Subramanian would go on to set a trial date for May 5, 2025, alongside issuing an order barring both parties from making statements relating to secret grand jury material and other non-public evidence in the case.[18][19]
