US District Judge Amit Mehta, who was named to the court by President Barack Obama, has been selected at random to hear the US Justice Department's case against Alphabet's Google, according to a court filing on Wednesday.

Mehta is a judge on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.

Mehta, who was appointed to the court in 2014, heard a Federal Trade Commission fight to block a merger of Sysco and US Foods. In 2015, he ruled for the government and the deal was abandoned.
