The Charlotte Observer has the breaking story announcing Bill Belk's resignation from the bench.

Facing misconduct charges and possible removal by the N.C. Supreme Court, Belk submitted a letter of resignation late Friday.

He did not give a reason for his resignation.

In the letter, he wrote: “I am resigning my judgeship effective this afternoon, Friday, Nov. 6, 2009. I have enjoyed my friendship with you and my clerks, sheriffs, D.A.'s, attorneys and my fellow judges. Best of luck to all of you.

“P.S.,” he wrote, “I hope this doesn't cause an inconvenience on scheduling next week.”
