Republican Gov. Doug Ducey appoints 6 appeals court judges as his term winds down
https://www.yahoo.com/news/ducey-appoints-6-appeals-court-030833643.html In his final days in office, Republican Gov. Doug Ducey is shaping the future of the Arizona Court of Appeals with six new appointments.
Ducey selected Michael Catlett, Anni Hill Foster and Daniel Kiley for the Court of Appeals Division I in Phoenix and Lacey Stover Gard, Michael Kelly and Christopher O’Neil to Division II in Tucson.
“These new judges will provide the much needed resources for the Court of Appeals to handle its growing caseload as more and more people choose Arizona as a place to live, work, and start a business. ...They will faithfully uphold the law, defend the Constitution, and respect the separation of powers. I am proud to have these judges serve the State of Arizona on the Court of Appeals," Ducey said in a statement Thursday.
The Court of Appeals is the second-highest court in the state, behind the state Supreme Court. It receives cases that are appealed from state Superior Courts, and participants appear before a team of three judges.
