ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey (AP) -- The mystery of this gambling resort town's missing mayor appeared to be close to a conclusion Tuesday, with a request before a judge to declare his office vacant.
Mayor Bob Levy called in sick last month and hasn't been heard from since.
1 of 3 Meanwhile, the mayor's lawyer promised an explanation of the politician's two-week absence.
City officials last heard from Mayor Robert Levy on September 26, when he called in sick, climbed into his city-issued Dodge Durango and seemingly vanished.
His aides have said only that he was hospitalized somewhere, and will not disclose his condition.
Members of the city council say they're fed up with the disappearing mayor, who is under federal investigation for embellishing his Army service in Vietnam, and have asked a judge to declare the mayor's office vacant.
Councilman William "Speedy" Marsh was preparing to take office as early as Tuesday afternoon, said Marsh's attorney, James Leonard.
Superior Court Assignment Judge Valerie Armstrong was trying Tuesday to schedule a hearing with Levy's lawyer and Councilman Bruce Ward to discuss Ward's request to declare that Levy had abandoned his office. But as of early afternoon there was no news on when the hearing would be held.

Levy's lawyer, Edwin Jacobs, said he plans to issue a statement Tuesday or Wednesday "that will fully explain the mayor's circumstances." He would not say what it will contain.
The city Tuesday released a letter dated September 28 from Jacobs to the city's administrator saying the mayor expected to be "convalescing at home" shortly after being released from a hospital, but gave no further information. It was not clear whether Levy was hospitalized Tuesday.
Marsh's attorney said he believes Levy's resignation is "imminent."
"There's nothing in play that suggests that Levy is going to return," Leonard said. "We are preparing for a smooth, swift and immediate transition that will allow Mr. Marsh to take over as mayor. There is a plan in place."
Mayoral spokesman Nick Morici said he does not know what Levy's plans are. Levy's wife, Hazel, who also works at City Hall, said she also didn't know and declined to comment further.
City Business Administrator Domenic Cappella, who is serving as acting mayor, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Tuesday. A message left at Levy's home was not returned.
Last fall, the Press of Atlantic City reported that the Vietnam veteran's claims that he was a member of the Green Berets were untrue. He apologized, but federal authorities have been looking into whether the 64-year-old Levy made that claim to increase his veteran's benefit payments.
Opponents were already gathering signatures in a fledgling recall drive when he disappeared. They criticized the mayor, who took office last year, for his sporadic attendance at council meetings and his ties with one of three former city council members to plead guilty since last year in a corruption case.
