Stephen M. Place of Bishop has been appointed to fill the judicial vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Dean T. Stout.

I am excited to join Judge Brian Lamb, and to work with Pam Foster and all court staff, to make the Inyo County Superior Court the best it can be,” Place commented on his appointment.

Buzz,in case you haven’t noticed,LOTS of people have TRDS…..but it makes for a lot of laughs and great late night comedy…..at the expense of making America the laughing-stock of the World….
Future Governor Newsom has a lot more programs planned and compassion for the homeless than the (another ) trump-puppet Cox would have for them…trump and his worshipers,if they had or got their way,the answer would be to ship them back to the Countries their ancestors came from…and continue to gut into anykind of funds, programs or plans to help the mentally ill…..Buzz,if you have an immediate solution to the mental health and homeless problem in America,and the one we have right here in the Owens Valley to a small degree,let’s hear it…or do we have to wait until trump weighs-in on that before you can make your OWN decision ?.
Lol! Did I mention Trump in my last 2 comments?
Didn’t think so..
(TRDS) TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME- IS REAL…
Davey, you have it!
Get well soon.
Buzz
So Fuzz, again, what is YOUR solution to the homeless problem? I saw two separate homeless guys along the canal in Bishop early this morning. What should be done with them? You’re sure good at criticizing people but beyond that, you’re pretty worthless. Sad!
Wanna know….the trump worshipers don’t give a rat’s ass about the homeless or the mentally ill,which many of them are mentally ill more than not…their track-record proves it,cutting and gutting programs and funds that would help them out.The trump worshipers only see it as money coming out of their OWN pockets,either increased taxes for program funding,or thinking since most aren’t working a job,it must mean they are on State-aid and/or welfare and food-stamp programs THEY are paying for…they don’t really care about ,as Buzz said above,the “smell of urine ” or the “beauty of the city ” being a problem…it’s all about the money,thinking it’s costing them out of their pockets….if they had their way,the homeless would just go away and die, leaving more Government funds to build their wall and hire more ICE agents.
@David Dennison- sorry about insulting California’s greatest Governor….
Lets hope Gavin Newsome can continue Brown’s legacy.
Went to San Francisco last week and thought all the tents and smell of urine from the staggering numbers of the Homeless, really enhanced the beauty of the city..
Go Gavin Go
Ya right, Fuzz. What’s your solution to the homeless problem? Please tell!
Buzz….you and the trump worshipers think Governor Brown was bad,wait a few months and see what future Governor Newsome is going to be like for you…..or do you think trump’s endorsement of Repub Cox will get him elected ?…..lol….
‘Good move Governor Brown’
First time them words have been uttered
Good move Governor Brown and congratulations Judge Place!
Inyo County is very fortunate to have someone of Steve’s caliber – as an attorney and person – as one of its Superior Court Judges.
