Justice Michael Morgan stepped down from the Supreme Court of North Carolina last week. This week, Governor Roy Cooper exercised his appointment power and named Allison Riggs, then a judge on the Court of Appeals, to fill Justice Morgan’s seat. That, in turn, opened a seat on the Court of Appeals, to which the Governor appointed Carolyn Thompson, a former candidate for the Court of Appeals.
