Judge grants Clerk Halbert extension to respond to ouster petition, delaying potential removal.
A Shelby County judge has granted Clerk Wanda Halbert an extension to respond to an ouster petition filed by County Attorney Marlinee Iverson, delaying her potential removal from office. Judge Felicia Corbin-Johnson ruled it would be unjust to oust Halbert without a proper response. Halbert's motion to dismiss was deemed inadequate as a response, leading to the next court date set for September 17. Halbert faces allegations of neglecting her duties.
