I contacted Humboldt County Superior Court CEO Kim Bartelson to ask if Mr. Manning will temporarily take over Judge Marilyn Miles's courtroom.
She said Mr. Canning is replacing the Commissioner who retired in March.
Press Release:

“I am looking forward to continue working with the Superior Court, court staff, the local Bar Association, and serving the people of Humboldt County,” states Mr. Canning.
Thank you for all you do John Chiv it doesn't seem like the courts could run without you.

ReplyDeleteIf we are not informed, how do we make choices or require others to do their job?
A court commissioner can also be a step on the way to a court appointment, so this news is quite pertinent. Thank you.
John - I have spoked with many local lawyers and they ALL love John Chiv because he makes them look good. Great work John Chiv.
ReplyDeletelol Anon, not ALL local lawyers would agree but most would. I just report the facts in court. Those who are good earned their reputation and kudos by being the excellent, hard working lawyers they are.
Deletejust make sure you don't protect the bad lawyers we need to know who
DeleteI don't protect anyone. I report. I also am not someone afraid of stating the truth. If you are a regular reader of my blog, you would know that. In any situation, you should not just listen to me or any one else but research, read and keep yourself well informed.
