b. Hear and decide any motion for a new trial or for a judgment notwithstanding the
verdict, or objections to any cost bill, that may be filed in the case.
c. Settle a transcript for appeal and grant extensions of time therefor.
2. The supreme court at any time by order may terminate the term of appointment of a
temporary judge as of a date specified in the order, but termination does not affect the
validity of any judgment, decree, order, or other action of the temporary judge before
the effective date of the termination.
3. A temporary judge appointed as provided in section 27-24-01 is not eligible to appear
as attorney in the court to which the judge was appointed in any case tried by a jury
selected from the same jury panel which was in existence during the time which that
individual served as temporary judge.
