Third District Magistrate Judge F. Randall Kline has submitted his notice of retirement

 

A Canyon County judge who was placed on administrative leave last year, has announced he will retire.

Third District Magistrate Judge F. Randall Kline has submitted his notice of retirement, which will be effective July 1.

Last fall, the Idaho Judicial Council received a complaint about Kline using inappropriate language around staff.

The Idaho Statesman reports such complaints aren’t made public until investigations are complete, and details around the complaint remain unclear…but the judge was put on administrative leave October 20 of last year.

Kline is retiring after five years on the bench…he has no prior record of disciplinary actions.
