Halverson moves to disqualify Gibbons
As reported here last week, Nevada Supreme Court Justice Mark Gibbons had disclosed in a court filing conversations he had had with court personnel regarding issues relating to Judge Elizabeth Halverson. Yesterday, Halverson moved to disqualify Gibbons from sitting on her pending case before the high court.
Since Halverson challenges the authority of a chief judge to make case assignments, and since Gibbons disclosed that he had suggested that Halverson’s docket could be restricted to civil cases, the move is not surprising.
Supreme Court Justice Micharl Cherry had already recused himself from involvement in the case.
