The Judge of the Orange Circuit Court requested the appointment of Senior Judge Robert T. Hublar for service in that court for 2004, pursuant to Ind.Code §33-4-8-1.

This Court adopted revisions to Administrative Rule 5 on December 3, 2003, which made certain changes to the senior judge program in recognition of the importance of senior judges to the administration of justice in Indiana trial courts.  Accordingly, we find that the Orange Circuit Court is eligible for ten (10) days of senior judge assistance as contemplated by the revisions to Administrative Rule 5.  We find further that Senior Judge Robert T. Hublar has been certified as a senior judge by the Judicial Nominating Commission for the calendar year 2004 pursuant to Ind. Code §33-2.1-4-17.

Hublar is appointed to serve in the requesting trial court at the discretion of the requesting judge, effective July 1, 2004.  This appointment shall remain in effect until June 30, 2005, and it shall be incumbent upon the requesting judge to ensure that the court utilizes no more than ten (10) senior judge service days during the period beginning July 1, 2004 and ending June 30, 2005.  Pursuant to Ind. Code §33-4-8-5, all senior judges appointed by this Court in this Order may not be compensated as senior judge for more than one hundred (100) days in the aggregate during the 2004 calendar year.

The Clerk of this Court is directed to forward a certified copy of this order to the Honorable Larry R. Blanton, judge of the Orange Circuit Court; to the Honorable Robert T.
