Ben J. Miller, chief judge

of the Griffin Judicial Circuit, has announced his plans to retire at

the end of this year.

Miller, who has been on the

Superior Court bench since July 1, 1977, is one of four judges who serves

Fayette, Spalding, Pike and Upson counties. Before that, Miller served

as District Attorney for the circuit when he was appointed July 1, 1969.

In a statement released to

the media, Miller said he wants to thank the public for its support and

"the honor and privilege of serving them."

"I look forward to spending

more time with my family, especially our grandchildren," Miller wrote.

"My sincere thanks for all the support that you have shown me over

these many years."

Miller will become a Senior

Judge, meaning he can remain active as a jurist by filling in for judges

all over Georgia.
