Judge Robert C. Nalley, the judge that deflated a womans tire for parking in a restricted area, has resigned as Chief Court Administrator.

‘”I am at a stage of my career where I feel that I can be of more use to the judiciary as a judge in the trenches than as someone with budget, planning, personnel and other management responsibilities,”‘ Circuit Court Judge Robert C. Nalley wrote to Robert M. Bell, chief judge of the Maryland Court of Appeals.

Sounds like a tough guy. I wouldn’t want to come across Judge Nalley in a dark alley.

He spoke nothing about the the tire deflation controversy from last Monday, and he stressed he will not be resigning from the bench.

“La Plata Police Chief Cassin B. Gittings said Thursday that an investigation into the tire deflation was continuing. Two county sheriff’s jail officers witnessed the incident, and one recorded it with his cellphone camera, said two sources familiar with the investigation who requested anonymity because the probe is ongoing.”

As chief administrative judge, Nalley was responsible for assigning cases to judges and overseeing the Circuit Court’s budget and personnel, and he largely decided which defendants were entitled to continuances on court dates.

“The county administrative judge runs the court,” Missouri said.
