Judge Spitzer is running for a judgeship

As long time readers know, Judge Spitzer was removed by the Commission on Judicial Performance from his seat on the Superior Court. Interesting, five people, including Judge Spitzer himself are running for that position.

In an effort to publicize this the IELB is proud to copy verbatim the PE's description of Judge Spitzer's competition:

Anne M. Knighten, a judicial staff attorney for Riverside County Superior Court. She is a 1982 graduate of Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles and has worked for the Superior Court since 1986.

John D. Molloy, a Riverside County deputy district attorney. Molloy joined the prosecutor's office in 1997, and has handled high-profile murder cases. He is a 1996 graduate of Pepperdine University School of Law in Malibu.

Robert W. Nagby, a Riverside County Superior Court Commissioner since 1998 and a graduate of Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. He has been a private practice attorney and a Riverside County deputy district attorney.

John Vineyard, a private-practice attorney specializing in business and real estate issues. Vineyard is a 1989 graduate of UC Davis King Hall School of Law and a past president of the Riverside County Bar Association.
