24. APPOINTMENT OF SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE PRO TEMPORE Pursuant to A.R.S. §12-141, approve the appointment of Superior Court Commissioner Eartha K. Washington as Superior Court Judge Pro Tempore for the period commencing June 3, 2009 through June 30, 2009. In order to obtain greater flexibility in the use of Court Commissioners, the Superior Court customarily has all Court Commissioners appointed as Superior Court Judges Pro Tempore so they may, on occasion, hear contested matters. This serves the interest of judicial economy and promotes sound caseflow management. Superior Court Commissioner Eartha K. Washington would serve as Pro Tempore without any additional compensation other than that to which she is entitled to as a Superior Court Commissioner. (C-80-09-016-2-00)
