Mangerson to resign from Court of Appeals
Mangerson to resign from Court of Appeals
Mangerson's retirement was disclosed Tuesday when the governor's office issued a press release seeking candidates to fill his seat.
A Rhinelander native, Mangerson is a former Oneida County circuit judge and district attorney. He was appointed to the District 3 Court of Appeals, in Wausau, in 2011, and later elected to a six-year term on the appeals court bench in 2012.
In a letter sent Monday to Governor Scott Walker, Mangerson, 65, hinted he would like to continue working as a public official, though perhaps in a less than full-time capacity.
"It has been both a pleasure and honor to serve the people of the Great State of Wisconsin for over 30 years in various legal capacities," Mangerson wrote. "I hope to serve on a limited basis in the future."
That could include serving as a reserve judge, he said Wednesday in an interview.
Nonetheless, Mangerson said he was looking forward to winding down his legal career.
"I think it's just time to retire and enjoy free time," he said.
Walker's office is accepting applications for Mangerson's successor. Application materials, which are available online at www.walker.wi.gov, must be received by the governor's office no later than 5 p.m., Tuesday, June 3.
The new appointee, should he or she choose to run, would be up for election in April 2016.
The Northwoods River News will have more on Mangerson's retirement in Saturday's edition.
