Atencio meet these criteria and have been associate judges since May 1986.

needed to s,t when the full-time elected judge has had to recuse himself (due to companion
case, know,; the defendant, etc.) or when he is out of the office for meetings , vacations, or
illness.
STAFF ANALYSIS
There are four ,other associate judges: one currently has serious health problem~, o.,e is
gone during winter months, and th e other two have busy la w practices . It is not easy to
find attorneys that reside in the City and are willing lo give up any cases th•!Y might have
in this court in order to sit.
