In 2001, Briccetti applied with United States Senator Chuck Schumer for a federal judgeship. Although he was not chosen, he heard from members of Schumer's judicial screening panel from 2002 until 2010 that he was still considered a candidate. In January 2010, the chairman of Schumer's panel asked Briccetti to submit an updated questionnaire to the panel. On November 17, 2010, President Obama nominated Briccetti to a judicial seat on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to fill the vacancy created by Judge Kimba Wood's transition to senior status in 2009. On April 12, 2011, the Senate deemed his nomination confirmed by unanimous consent. He received his judicial commission on April 14, 2011. He assumed senior status on April 21, 2023.

In December 2018 officials in Rockland County, New York, in the midst of a measles outbreak, banned children who were not vaccinated, from returning to school where the vaccination was less than 95%; parents later sued the county in an effort to allow their students to return to class. On March 14, 2019, Briccetti denied the parents request, ruling that it wasn't in "public interest" to allow the children to go back to school.
