THIS MATTER is before the Court upon its own motion.
Senior Judge Robert J. Conrad, Jr. has elected to reduce his caseload to 50 percent of that of an active judge in this district effective March 1, 2024. To achieve this with minimal disruption to pending cases, the following is ordered:
Effective March 1, 2024, Senior Judge Conrad will be removed from the random assignment of new criminal indictments and bills of information in the Charlotte division until such time as his criminal cases reach 50 percent of the criminal cases of active judges in the Charlotte division as determined by the Clerk of Court who shall regularly monitor these numbers. Once this threshold is met, Judge Conrad will be returned to the Charlotte criminal case assignment pursuant to the Charlotte case assignment order 3:24mcl9.
