The governor appointed Michael Catlett, Anni Hill Foster, and Daniel Kiley to Division I. He appointed Lacey Stover Gard, Michael Kelly, and Christopher O’Neil to Division II. These vacancies were created by the addition of three at-large appellate seats on each division of the Arizona Court of Appeals.
“I am very pleased to announce the appointment of six new judges to the Arizona Court of Appeals,” said Governor Ducey. “These new jdges will provide the much needed resources for the Court of Appeals to handle its growing caseload as more and more people choose Arizona as a place to live, work, and start a business.

I am proud to have these judges serve the State of Arizona on the Court of Appeals.”
