Judges – Discipline – Public Reprimand – Delayed Ruling
Teresa Bruno, Opinions Editor//May 15, 2018//
The respondent-judge, who otherwise has an exemplary record and excellent reputation, failed to issue a ruling for more than two years and three months after the last day of the hearing on the matter in question; such delay was without justification and occurred notwithstanding multiple requests to issue a ruling from the parties, the attorneys and respondent’s chief judge. Further, respondent concedes that there was no excuse for the delay other than his “dread” of the case.
Respondent violated several judicial canons and is hereby publicly reprimanded.
In re Judge Henderson (Lawyers Weekly No. 010-050-18, 10 pp.) (Michael Morgan, J., for the court) Upon recommendation by the Judicial Standards Commission. N.C. S. Ct.
