He is assigned to the Sixth Municipal District, and hears a variety of matters on a rotating basis with the other Municipal Department judges in the Markham courthouse, according to a Cook County website.
The chief judge's office asked the Illinois Supreme Court to transfer his case to someone who is not a Cook County judge, a spokeswoman for the chief judge's office said.
There was also a meeting Wednesday among the executive committee of presiding judges to determine if there needed to be a change in Boyd's assignment, but the outcome was not immediately clear early Thursday morning.
