The Judicial Conduct Commission has issued an “Agreed Order of Disability Retirement” for 16th Judicial Circuit Family Court Judge Lisa Bushelman.

Bushelman was granted her request for leave on May 3, which was to end September 1, based on medical reasons.
The order says that Judge Bushelman’s medical issues continue and the parties have agreed that these issues “will seriously interfere with the future performance of her duties.”
Judge Bushelman signed the agreement on August 19.
She waived the time limit to appeal.
Bushelman was first elected to Kenton County Family Court in 2006 and was re-elected in 2014 for a term that extends to 2023.
Retired Judge Michael ‘Mickey” Foellger was named to serve as Family Court judge while Bushelman was on leave.
The nature of Bushelman’s medical issues are private.
