— still has court officers assigned to chauffeur and protect her using a pair of state-owned SUVs, The Post has learned.

The other was spotted behind the wheel of a black Chevrolet Tahoe with state Unified Court System plates that circled the block when not parked in front of the building. In addition, the Office of Court Administration has never before provided a former chief judge with vehicles and court officers, a source said.
