The
Florida
judge
who
briefly
presided
over
the
paternity
battle
for
Anna
Nicole
Smith's
daughter
Dannielynn
has
retired
in
a
bid
to
avoid
a
possible
judicial
inquiry
over
a
recent
drugs
scandal.
Family
Court
Judge
Lawrence
Korda
has
been
on
voluntary
paid
leave
since
news
of
his
part
in
a
police
drugs
sting
hit
the
headlines
in
March.
Korda
was
charged
with
misdemeanour
marijuana
possession
after
police
officers
spotted
him
smoking
a
joint
in
a
park
near
a
group
of
children.
The
misdemeanour
marijuana
possession
charge
will
be
dismissed
in
November
if
Korda
passes
six
months
of
drug
testing.
