CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Longtime Justice of the Peace Robey Willis says he will retire in January 2011 after more than 25 years on the bench.

Willis is the longest-serving justice of the peace in Carson City history.

The 67-year-old is retiring with a year left on his term and is asking the Board of Supervisors to schedule a special election to fill the post.

Willis says he will become a senior judge to fill in for other justices of the peace in the state.
