BELL, C.J., concurring in judgment only which GREENE and ELDRIDGE, JJ., join.
Among the rulings by the Circuit Court for Baltimore County at issue in this case is the correctness of its order that it be “paneled,” by the Office of the Public Defender, to outside counsel. The majority, despite endorsing the court’s decision to order removal of post-delinquency counsel, holds that order to be error. For the reasons detailed in Office of the Public Defender v. State, 413 Md. 411, 437-474, 993 A.2d 55, 71-94 (2010) (Bell, C.J. Dissenting and Concurring) and Workman v. State, 413 Md. 475, 490-491, 993 A.2d 94, 103 (2010) (Bell, C.J. Concurring), I agree with that holding, as do Judges Greene and Eldridge, and, therefore, for the reasons therein stated, we join in the Court’s judgment only.
