CHAUNCEY SELLERS DEFENDANT

ORDER DISQUALIFYING JUDGE

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.

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.
