The Germantown Board of Mayor and Aldermen will decide next week whether to appoint a municipal court judge to temporarily replace Judge Raymond Clift Jr., the Daily Memphian reports. Clift is guaranteed an eight-year term as he runs unopposed on today’s ballot, but he is currently on a temporary leave of absence. In Clift’s absence, Judge Robert Brannon has been filling in, but the board on Monday will consider naming Kevin Patterson as temporary judge to help with Brannon’s workload. Patterson is a local attorney with more than 30 years of experience and has previously served the city as judge when a substitute has been needed.
