The state prosecutor who is leading the investigation into Rush Limbaugh's drug use has been appointed a Palm Beach County judge, Gov. Jeb Bush announced Monday.

James Martz, 48, of Parkland, head of the Community Based Anti-Crime Task Force of the State Attorney's Office, will fill the county court vacancy that was created during the 2005 legislative session.

Martz will likely assume his office sometime in January, said Michael Edmondson, a spokesman for Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer.

...His caseload, including the high-profile investigation into Limbaugh's prescription drug use, will be transferred to other attorneys, Edmondson said....
