Hamilton County Circuit Court Judge Marie Williams has been assigned to hear Mayor Ron Littlefield’s new challenge to a planned recall election.
The City Court Clerk’s office confirmed Thursday that Williams’ name was drawn by lot to hear the case.
“I don’t have any problem with it,” Littlefield said Thursday.
Last week, Littlefield sued the Hamilton County Election Commission in Circuit Court, trying to stop the scheduled August election.
The mayor’s attorney said it is unclear whether Williams will hear the case.
