1. Supreme Court Assigns Four Recall Judges to Sit as Municipal Court Judges to Resolve State v. Cassidy Matters
SUPREME COURT OF NEW JERSEY
WHEREAS the Supreme Court issued its decision in State v. Eileen Cassidy. 235 N.J. 482 (2018), holding that breath test results from Alcotest machines calibrated without using a thermometer that produces NIST-traceable temperature readings in the calibration process are inadmissible as evidence; and
WHEREAS the Judiciary has been notified by the Office of the Attorney General that there are 20,667 DWI cases in which defendants' breath samples were procured using such improperly calibrated machines; and
WHEREAS the Court by order of January 29, 2019 designated retired Appellate Division Judge Robert A. Fall, serving on recall, as special master for purposes of coordination of the management of such cases on a statewide basis to develop better processing of these cases, to provide greater consistency and efficiency, and to minimize conflicts and delays, and with the special master having the authority to make judicial and administrative decisions relating to such cases that have been adjudicated; and
WHEREAS the special master has recommended the assignment of a number of retired Superior Court judges on recall to sit as Municipal Court judges to resolve certain of these cases;
It is ORDERED that, effective immediately and until further order, the following retired Superior Court judges presently serving on recall, in addition to their existing recall assignments, are assigned to sit as Municipal Court judges with statewide jurisdiction to resolve matters subject to the statewide administration of cases affected by the Court's Cassidy decision:
Dated: July 25, 2019
Judge Robert A. Fall (lead judge) Judge Linda G. Baxter
Judge Stephan C. Hansbury Judge Robert B. Reed
2. Thank you to many persons that wishes me a Happy Birthday on August 7.
I will not be having an official party like I did when I turned 50. On August 23 at the Edison Elks Thirsty Thursday we will bring a sheet cake, listen to the band and celebrate good times. I invite anyone to stop over. Free admission to band. Inexpensive drinks and food.
3. Have a Power of Attorney prepared for your college children and children traveling out of state
There are many good reasons to consider getting a Power of Attorney and Medical Directive for your adult "child". A prominent Monmouth County Law office wrote while you made certain decision for your child before he or she turned 18, you have no authority to take action now. In the event your child becomes ill or has a serious accident while they are away, you do not have legal right to withhold Power of Attorney, it is important to have a plan in place to deal with their health, financial, educational and legal needs.
Durable Power of Attorney to handle finances will enable you to take care of tasks for your child. This includes: registering their car; communicating with their college about issues which fall under HIPAA, like grades and disciplinary actions; completing financial transactions at their bank, their college, etc. If your child runs in to an issue with their passport while they are overseas, you can be assured that you have the authority to help.
Living Will or Health Care Directive is important in the event of an accident or illness. You will be able to talk to medical staff and make decisions on your child's behalf, if necessary.
While you may never need to use these documents, it is better to be safe than sorry!
