Iowa Court of Appeals judge to retire
July 22, 2009
Iowa: Court of Appeals judge Robert Mahan has announced that he will retire to senior status on the court effective July 31, 2009. With his retirement, there are two vacancies on the court; the other due to the retirement of Judge John Miller.
The Judicial Branch will not immediately appoint a new judge to Mahan's seat in order to reduce expenses. "Legislation signed by the governor permits the chief justice to delay, for up to 180 days, the nominating process for any judicial officer position that becomes vacant until June 30, 2010."[1]
