Judge Cleo E. Powell was sworn in formally this afternoon as the newest judge of the Virginia Court of Appeals. She had served previously as a general district and circuit judge in Chesterfield County.
Gov. Timothy M. Kaine appointed her in August to fill the vacancy created by his elevation of Judge LeRoy F. Millette Jr. from the intermediate appellate court to the Supreme Court of Virginia.
The General Assembly is expected to appoint her to a full eight-year term in January.

Judge Powell: Congratulations on your new appointment. My HEARTFELT thanks to you for your patience with me in my case. I continue to persevere and have re-instituted my case. It has never been about the money, but about representing for the truth. I don’t know who’ll take your place, but prayerfully they’ll be as smart as you. Many blessings to you in your new job.
