New Castle County Superior Court Judge John Babiarz Jr. says he will not seek a third term when his current term expires this month.
Babiarz notified Gov. Markell of his decision in a letter.
Markell will name a successor, who must be a Democrat to maintain political balance
on the bench.
That person must be approved by the state Senate.
The 68-year-old Babiarz is the state's longest-serving Superior Court judge. He was
appointed in 1985 and reappointed in 1997.
A spokesman for Markell says Babiarz has agreed to stay on until his replacement is
seated.
