female judge
retiring
SANTA FE (AP) - A Santa
Fc judge who was the first
American Indian female state
district judge in the country is
stepping down next month be
cause of health concerns.
State District Judge Carol
Vigil, who is a diabetic and suf
fered an episode similar to a
heart attack earlier this year, will
retire Sept. 23. She has been on
the bench since December
1998.
Vigil, who has been on leave
from the bench, said she's been
in the hospital several times in
recent months.
She worked in tribal and state
courts in New Mexico and had
been an assistant state attorney
general before being sworn in
as a state district judge.
"I'm ready for my third life,"
said Vigil, 57, who is affiliated
with both the Tesuque and
Isleta Pueblos.
She said she'd been consid
ering retiring since the end of
2004.
"I never felt like I've gotten
myself together," she said. "I
kept feeling like I was getting
further behind in my work."
