Judges – Discipline – Public Reprimand – Financial Dealings – Inappropriate Comments
By: Teresa Bruno, Opinions Editor//August 30, 2018
In one instance, the respondent-probate judge used the probate court bank account for his own purposes and, in more than one instance, he made inappropriate comments to court personnel. Because respondent has resigned and agreed never to seek or accept judicial office in this state without first obtaining permission from this court, after providing notice to the Office of Disciplinary Counsel, the strongest punishment we can give is a public reprimand.
Respondent is publicly reprimanded.
In re Peeler (Lawyers Weekly No. 010-084-18, 3 pp.) (Per Curiam) Re-filed opinion. John Nichols and Julie Kay Martino for Office of Disciplinary Counsel; Robert Peeler, pro se. S.C. S. Ct.
