Continuance Sought in Cimarron School Audit Case
A motion for a 45 day continuance of a Sept. 4 hearing in the Cimarron school district audit dispute has been prepared by the attorney general's office. Assistant AG Robert Hoffman said the move awaits Judge Ernest Vieux's decision on Gray County requests for AG takeover of prosecution. Judge Vieux relieved Gray County Atty John Holden from further participation, citing Holden's conduct as grounds for possible contempt, after Holden sought disqualification. The case, started by Holden in the state's name, seeks an audit of Consolidated School Dist. No. 1 books for five years. Vieux said he will ask the governor to direct the AG to handle all prosecution matters.
