THE CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE STATE SUPREME COURT HAS NAMED DISTRICT JUDGE BRENT LOVELESS OF ALBUQUERQUE TO PRESIDE OVER THE CASE. THAT AFTER NINE JUDGES IN THE SANTA FE DISTRICT STEPPED ASIDE. GRIEGO, WHO RESIGNED FROM THE LEGISLATURE LAST YEAR, IS CHARGED WITH FAILING TO DISCLOSE THAT HE GAINED FINANCIALLY FROM A REAL ESTATE DEAL INVOLVING A STATE OWNED BUILDING.
