Roane County appoints Scott Nguyen as judicial magistrate to fill vacancy
Summary
The commission accepted a nomination and voted to appoint Scott Nguyen to fill the judicial magistrate vacancy created by the death of Judge Kathy Mount; Nguyen pledged to continue local services and community trust.
The Roane County Commission confirmed Scott Nguyen to fill the judicial magistrate vacancy created by the death of Judge Kathy Mount, following a nomination and supporting remarks from community members and local judges.
Judge Dennis Humphreys submitted a letter recommending Nguyen, and multiple commissioners and longtime acquaintances spoke in support. Nguyen addressed the commission and said he would strive to carry on the service and commitments of the late magistrate: "I'm committed to... providing the same service I always provide," he said, noting local ties to Kingston and a history of juvenile-court work.
The clerk recorded affirmative votes from a broad cross-section of commissioners, and the nomination passed. Commissioners said they were confident Nguyen will serve the county's needs; no additional motions or contesting nominations were recorded in the transcript excerpt.
