(INDIANAPOLIS) - The Allen Superior Court Judicial Nominating Commission announced three finalists to fill an upcoming judicial vacancy.
The Commission selected the following finalists:
The three finalists will be submitted to Governor Eric Holcomb for consideration. He will name a Superior Court judge. Under state law, the Commission must submit to the governor a list of three candidates with written evaluations of each candidate. Upon receiving the list of nominees, Governor Holcomb has 60 days in which to make an appointment to the Allen Superior Court.
A vacancy on the Allen Superior Court became available with the retirement of Judge Daniel G. Heath. In November, the Commission announced the Allen County Clerk would accept applications for the position until January 5. On January 23-24, the Commission publicly interviewed nine candidates, and then met in executive session to deliberate. One applicant withdrew their name from consideration.
The Commission was established by the Indiana General Assembly in 1983. It consists of seven members including Holly Brady, Ben Eisbart, Angela Moellering, Paul Sturm, Mark Terrell, and Douglas Ulmer. It is chaired by Indiana Supreme Court Justice Steven David.
