Judge Catherine Bartlett has not held court for the past two weeks and has not scheduled any cases for the next few weeks.
The Orange County lawyer, an appointed state Court of Claims judge, remains assigned to Rockland County Courthouse, but has taken time off for a medical procedure, said Judge Francis Nicolai, the administrative law judge for the 9th Judicial District, which includes Rockland.
Nicolai said he expects Bartlett back behind the bench in a few weeks, possibly sooner than her blank calendar of cases on the court wwebsite indicated.
Nicolai assigned Bartlett to handle criminal cases in Rockland. An appointee by former GOP Gov. George Pataki to a 10-year-term whose husband is the Orange County GOP chairman, Bartlett also has been designated an acting state Supreme Court judge. She’s a former county attorney and Goshen judge.
“I know she was planning on being out for a minor medical procedure,” Nicolai told The Journal-News today. “I am sure she will be back sooner than expected.”
