Amendment Removes Local Court Chief Judge
The Tuesday adoption of a constitutional amendment reorganizing the Court of Appeals will, in Frederick County, end Chief Judge Edward S. Delaplaine’s formal involvement with the Frederick County Circuit Court. The amendment creates a new Third Appellate Judicial Circuit, and Delaplaine must be named one of the five Court of Appeals judges by Governor O’Conor. Only Walter Capper is noted as another local appointee. Frederick County’s future will largely rely on Associate Judge Patrick M. Schnauffer, with Montgomery County judges assisting, to handle circuit court business. The plan limits Frederick’s sitting judges to one in practice, barring further amendments, and the 15-year term of Delaplaine ends with an election to select his successor among seven counties. The governor will appoint Court of Appeals members before January 1, with Delaplaine and Stephen Collins likely named.
