APJ McGuiness to retire

The First District's APJ, 1/3's William McGuiness, intends to retire around the end of the year. He has been the 1st's APJ since 2002 and the PJ of 1/3 since 1998.

A Recorder profile from 1999 has his then-colleague Justice Corrigan calling him an "unfailing gentleman" and Justice Parrilli calling him "unflappable":
Both Parrilli and Corrigan also say McGuiness -- an Oakland Raiders season ticket holder who follows all kinds of professional and collegiate sports -- is just fun to be around. Parrilli loves going out with him "in pursuit of the ideal hamburger," while Corrigan claims he has a wonderfully wry wit, "kind of like a really good dry martini."
