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
Mr. Kratovil,
Judge Borow remains a New Brunswick Municipal Court Judge in holdover status.
