STATE OF RHODE ISLAND AND PROVIDENCE PLANTATIONS PROVIDENCE, SC. SUPERIOR COURT [Filed: October 2, 2015] KEVEN MCKENNA VS. JOHN WELLS, STEPHEN IZZI, and MOSES AFONSO RYAN LTD. : : : : : : C.A. No. PC 2015-2029 DECISION GIBNEY, P.J. This matter was heard on Plaintiff’s Motion to Remove Assignment. Counsel’s contention that the Presiding Justice lacks the authority to assign specific cases to specific judges is without merit. G.L. 1956 § 8-2-4 gives the Presiding Justice supervision and control of calendars and the assignment of judges. Notwithstanding the extent of past litigation, the issue currently pending is not so convoluted that it warrants assignment of the same judge who has presided over past matters and assisted in their resolution. In fact, the currently pending matter does not warrant assignment to any specific judge. This matter will be directed to the Trial and Pre-Trial Calendar judge in Courtroom 4 and it will be conferenced in the ordinary course of business. The Scheduling Order is no longer in effect.
