JEFFERSON CIRCUIT COURT, DIVISION 6
CASE NO. 14-CR-3357
COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY PLAINTIFF
V.
CHAUNCEY SELLERS DEFENDANT
ORDER DISQUALIFYING JUDGE
This matter is before the Chief Justice upon the certification of the Clerk
of the Jefferson Circuit Court of the affidavit and motion of Commonwealth’s
Attorney Tom Wine to disqualify the Honorable Olu A. Stevens, 30th Judicial
Circuit, Division 6, from presiding in the above-styled criminal action.
Upon review of the affidavit and motion, the Chief Justice finds and
determines that the Commonwealth’s Attorney has demonstrated disqualifying
circumstances that require the appointment of a special judge under KRS
26A.020.
Accordingly, the Chief Justice orders as follows:
(1) The request to disqualify the Honorable Olu A. Stevens is
GRANTED without prejudice to any party to seek appellate
review after entry of a final judgment; and
(2) The Honorable A.C. McCay Chauvin, Chief Regional Circuit
Judge of the Metro Region, is designated to appoint a special
judge to assume the powers and responsibilities of the regular
judge to preside in the above-styled criminal matter until
completion; and
(3) The Jefferson Circuit Clerk shall place a copy of this order in
the record of the above-styled civil actions and serve copies of
this order on all counsel and parties not represented by
counsel.
Entered this 17th day of November 2015.
