Nineteenth Judicial Circuit (Barbour and Taylor Counties) Judge Shawn David Nines will sit on the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia to hear one case on Tuesday, January 10. Then-Chief Justice John Hutchison appointed Judge Nines to replace Justice Tim Armstead, who is recused. Judge Nines will hear a Rule 20 Argument in A. Karim Katrib, MD v. Herbert J. Thomas Memorial Hospital Association and Thomas Health System, Inc., No. 21-0843. The case will be heard at 10 a.m. and will be webcast live from a link on the West Virginia Judiciary website: www.courtswv.gov.
It will also be taped and available on the West Virginia Judiciary YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/wvsupremecourt. This is Judge Nines’ second appointment to hear a matter before the Supreme Court. He previously was appointed to hear a case in March 2020 when then-Justice Margaret Workman was recused.
“The appointment was a tremendous honor,” Judge Nines said, adding he “looked forward to the opportunity to serve again.” In addition to duties as a circuit judge, Judge Nines is one of seven circuit judges appointed to the West Virginia Business Court, which handles complex litigation between corporate entities statewide. He is also active with the West Virginia Judicial Association, serving on multiple committees.
