Maryland Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. announced that a search is underway to replace Insurance Commissioner Alfred W. Redmer, who resigned yesterday and will leave his $136,000 post on Friday.

Mr. Redmer, a former distributor and third-party administrator of employee benefit plans, served two years as commissioner. The vacancy under law will be filled in an acting capacity by Deputy Commissioner James V. McMahan III.

The commissioner's new job will be as the chief executive officer of Coventry Health Care of Delaware, a Wilmington-based regional health maintenance organization that also serves Maryland, Southern New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
