Judge Asked To Order Md. Governor To Appoint Hall

An attorney urged a Prince George's County judge on Tuesday to order Gov. Martin O'Malley to appoint a businessman to a seat in the Maryland House of Delegates, but a lawyer representing the governor said it was up to O'Malley to make the final call on the appointment _ not the county's Democratic central committee.

Meanwhile, an attorney representing the committee said the panel should be able to withdraw Greg Hall's nomination, and the former delegate argued she should get her seat back, because her conviction for misconduct in office was modified to probation before judgment.
