SENATOR Francisco Q. Cruz yesterday questioned the motives of the CNMI Bar Association in “evaluating” Tinian attorney Ramon K. Quichocho who has been nominated as a Superior Court judge.
A cousin of Quichocho, Cruz, R-Tinian, told reporters that there have been a number of times in the last few years when the Senate confirmed members of the judiciary, but he did not remember the bar association conducting a similar evaluation for any of the past nominees.
The bar’s evaluation results indicated that the participating members considered Quichocho “unacceptable” and “deficient.”
