Imagine this scenario: Judge A had a busy civil calendar before leaving for vacation.  Although all the hearings are complete, the judge did not make rulings on some issues.  As to a couple of other matters, the judge announced her intended rulings in court but did not enter orders, some of which will require written findings of fact. Sadly the Judge fell very ill during vacation, will not be able to resume her duties on the bench, and will soon retire due to disability. Will another judge be able to complete the work Judge A started?
