Dear Ms. Zeledon,

According to the responsive records, one of the three judicial appointments/re-appointments has expired. The first resolution provided (R-122034) says Mr. Borow's appointment is "commencing January 19, 2021 and expiring on January 18, 2024." That would make the appointment/re-appointment expired at this time.

Can you please clarify his status? Has there been a re-appointment resolution approved since the expiration?

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Charlie Kratovil

Leslie Zeledon, New Brunswick City
