Disability Petition

Family Court and the Parties there in are subject to Supreme Law.
All Courts are required to uphold it, even if state laws or
Constitutions conflict with it.

The Supremacy Clause appears in Article VI of the United States
Constitution. It establishes the Constitution, Federal Statutes, and
U.S. treaties as "the supreme law of the land." The Constitution is
the highest form of law in the American legal system. State judges
are required to uphold it, even if state laws or Constitutions
conflict with it.

SUPREMACY CLAUSE - "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United
States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties
made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United
States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in
every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or
Laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding." U.S. Const. art.
VI, Paragraph 2. " Stone v. City and County of San Francisco, 968
F.2d 850, 862 (9th Cir. 1992), cert. denied, 113 S. Ct. 1050 (1993).

RULES OF THE JUDICIAL COUNCIL OF THE ______ CIRCUIT GOVERNING
COMPLAINTS AGAINST JUDICIAL OFFICERS UNDER 28 U.S.C. § 351 et. seq.

Preface to the Rules

Section 351 et. seq. of Title 28 of the United States Code provides
a way for any person to complain about a federal judge or
magistrate judge who the person believes "has engaged in conduct
prejudicial to the effective and expeditious administration of the
business of the courts" or "is unable to discharge all the duties of
office by reason of mental or physical disability." It also permits
the judicial councils of the circuits to adopt rules for the
consideration of these complaints. These rules have been adopted
under that authority.

Complaints are filed with the Clerk of the Court of Appeals on a
form that has been developed for that purpose. Each complaint is
referred first to the Chief Judge of the circuit, who decides
whether the complaint raises an issue that should be investigated.
(If the complaint is about the chief judge, another judge will make
this decision; see Rule 18(e).)

The chief judge will dismiss a complaint if it does not properly
raise a problem that is appropriate for consideration under § 351.
The chief judge may also conclude the complaint proceeding if the
problem has been corrected or if intervening events have made action
on the complaint unnecessary. If the complaint is not disposed of in
any of these ways, the chief judge will appoint a special committee
to investigate the complaint. The special committee makes its report
to the judicial council of the circuit, which decides what action,
if any, should be taken. The judicial council is a body that
consists of the chief judge and six other judges of the court of
appeals and the chief judge of each of the district courts within
the Ninth Circuit.

The rules provide, in some circumstances, for review of decisions of
the chief judge or the judicial council.

Chapter I: Filing a Complaint

RULE 1. WHEN TO USE THE COMPLAINT PROCEDURE

(a) The Purpose of the Procedure. The purpose of the complaint
procedure is to improve the administration of justice in the federal
courts by taking action when judges or magistrate judges have
engaged in conduct that does not meet the standards expected of
federal judicial officers or are physically or mentally unable to
perform their duties. The law's purpose is essentially forward-
looking and not punitive. The emphasis is on correction of
conditions that interfere with the proper administration of justice
in the courts.

(b) What May be Complained About. The law authorizes complaints
about judges or magistrate judges who have "engaged in conduct
prejudicial to the effective and expeditious administration of the
business of the courts" or who are "unable to discharge all the
duties of office by reason of mental or physical disability."

"Conduct prejudicial to the effective and expeditious administration
of the business of the courts" does not include making wrong
decisions -- even very wrong decisions -in the course of hearings,
trials, or appeals. It does not include conduct engaged in by a
judicial officer prior to appointment to the bench. The law provides
that a complaint may be dismissed if it is "directly related to the
merits of a decision or procedural ruling."

"Mental or physical disability" may include temporary conditions as
well as permanent disability.

(c) Who May be Complained About. The complaint procedure applies to
judges of the United States courts of appeals, judges of the United
States district courts, judges of United States bankruptcy courts,
and United States magistrate judges. These rules apply, in
particular, only to judges of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit and to district judges, bankruptcy judges, and magistrate
judges of federal courts within the circuit.

Complaints about other officials of federal courts should be made to
their supervisors in the various courts. If such a complaint cannot
be satisfactorily resolved at lower levels, it may be referred to
the chief judge of the court in which the official is employed. The
circuit executive, whose address is United States Supreme Courts, is
sometimes able to provide assistance in resolving such complaints.
All complaints must be submitted in writing.

(d) Time for Filing. Complaints should be filed promptly. A
complaint may be dismissed if it is filed so long after the events
in question that the delay will make fair consideration of the
matter impossible. A complaint may also be dismissed if it does not
indicate the existence of a current problem with the administration
of the business of the courts.

(e) Limitations on Use of the Procedure. The complaint procedure is
not intended to provide a means of obtaining review of a judge's or
magistrate judge's decision or ruling in a case. The judicial
council of the circuit, the body that takes action under the
complaint procedure, does not have the power to change a decision or
ruling. Only a court can do that.

The complaint procedure may not be used to have a judge or
magistrate judge disqualified from sitting on a particular case. A
motion for disqualification should be made in the case.

Also, the complaint procedure may not be used to force a ruling on a
particular motion or other matter that has been before the judge or
magistrate judge too long. A petition for mandamus can sometimes be
used for that purpose.

RULE 2. HOW TO FILE A COMPLAINT

(a) Form. Complaints should be filed on the official form for
filing complaints in the Ninth Circuit, which is reproduced in the
appendix to these rules. Forms may be obtained by writing or
telephoning the clerk of the Court of Appeals for the _____ Circuit,
United States Courthouse, State of. Forms may be picked up in
person at the office of the clerk of the court of appeals or any
district court or bankruptcy court within the circuit.

(b) Statement of Facts. A statement should be attached to the
complaint form, setting forth with particularity the facts upon
which the claim of misconduct or disability is based. The statement
should not be longer than five pages (five sides), and the paper
size should not be larger than the paper the form is printed on.
Normally, the statement of facts will include –

(1) A statement of what occurred;

(2) The time and place of the occurrence or occurrences;

(3) Any other information that would assist an investigator in
checking the facts, such as the presence of a court reporter or
other witness and their names and addresses.

(c) Legibility. Complaints should be typewritten if possible. If not
typewritten, they must be legible.

(d) Submission of Documents. Documents such as excerpts from
transcripts may be submitted as evidence of the behavior complained
about; if they are, the statement of facts should refer to the
specific pages in the documents on which relevant material appears.

(e) Number of Copies. If the complaint is about a judge of the court
of appeals, an original plus three copies of the complaint form and
the statement of facts must be filed; if it is about a district
judge or magistrate judge, an original plus four copies must be
filed; if it is about a bankruptcy judge, an original plus five
copies must be filed. One copy of any supporting transcripts,
exhibits, or other documents is sufficient. A separate complaint,
with the required number of copies, must be filed with respect to
each judge or magistrate judge complained about.

(f) Signature and Oath. The form must be signed by the complainant
and the truth of the statements verified in writing under oath. As
an alternative to taking an oath, the complainant may declare under
penalty of perjury that the statements are true. The complainant's
address must also be provided.

(g) Where to File. Complaints should be sent to Clerk of Court
United States Court State____ The envelope should be
marked "Complaint of Misconduct" or "Complaint of Disability."

(h) No Fee Required. There is no filing fee for complaints of
misconduct or disability.

RULE 3. ACTION BY CLERK OF COURT OF APPEALS UPON RECEIPT OF A
COMPLAINT

(a) Receipt of Complaint in Proper Form.

(1) Upon receipt of a complaint against a judge or magistrate judge
filed in proper form under these rules, the clerk of the court will
open a file, assign a docket number, and acknowledge receipt of the
complaint. The clerk will promptly send copies of the complaint to
the chief judge of the circuit (or the judge authorized to act as
chief judge under rule 18(e) and to the judge or magistrate judge
whose conduct is the subject of the complaint. The original of the
complaint will be retained by the clerk.

(2) If a district judge or magistrate judge is complained about, the
clerk will also send a copy of the complaint to the chief judge of
the district court in which the judge or magistrate judge holds
appointment. If a bankruptcy judge is complained about, the clerk
will send copies to the chief judges of the district court and the
bankruptcy court. However, if the chief judge of a district court or
bankruptcy court is a subject of the complaint, the chief judge's
copy will be sent to the judge eligible to become the next chief
judge of such court.

(b) Receipt of Complaint About Official Other Than a Judge or
Magistrate Judge of the Ninth Circuit. If the clerk receives a
complaint about an official other than a judge or magistrate judge
of the Ninth Circuit, the clerk will not accept the complaint for
filing, and will so advise the complainant.

(c) Receipt of Complaint Not in Proper Form. If the clerk receives a
complaint against a judge or magistrate judge of this circuit that
uses a complaint form but does not comply with the requirements of
Rule 2, the clerk will normally not accept the complaint for filing
and will advise the complainant of the appropriate procedures. If a
complaint against a judge or magistrate judge is received in letter
form, the clerk will normally not accept the letter for filing as a
complaint, will advise the writer of the right to file a formal
complaint under these rules, and will enclose a copy of these rules
and the accompanying forms.

Chapter II: Review of a Complaint By the Chief Judge

RULE 4. REVIEW BY THE CHIEF JUDGE

(a) Purpose of Chief Judge's Review. When a complaint in proper form
is sent to the chief judge by the clerk's office, the chief judge
will review the complaint to determine whether it should be

(1) dismissed,

(2) concluded on the ground that corrective action has been taken,

(3) concluded because intervening events have made action on the
complaint no longer necessary, or

(4) referred to a special committee.

(b) Inquiry by Chief Judge. In determining what action to take, the
chief judge, with such assistance as may be appropriate, may conduct
a limited inquiry for the purpose of determining

(1) whether appropriate corrective action has been or can be taken
without the necessity for a formal investigation, and

(2) whether the facts stated in the complaint are either plainly
untrue or are incapable of being established through investigation.
For this purpose, the chief judge may request the judge or
magistrate judge whose conduct is complained of to file a written
response to the complaint. The chief judge may also communicate
orally or in writing with the complainant, the judge or magistrate
judge whose conduct is complained of, and other people who may have
knowledge of the matter, and may review any transcripts or other
relevant documents. The chief judge will not undertake to make
findings of fact about any material matter that is reasonably in
dispute.

(c) Dismissal. A complaint will be dismissed if the chief judge
concludes
(1) that the claimed conduct, even if the claim is true, is
not "conduct prejudicial to the effective and expeditious
administration of the business of the courts" and does not indicate
a mental or physical disability resulting in inability to discharge
the duties of office;

(2) that the complaint is directly related to the merits of a
decision or procedural ruling;

(3) that the complaint is frivolous, a term that includes making
charges that are wholly unsupported or have been ruled on in
previous complaints by the same complainant; or

(4) that, under the statute, the complaint is otherwise not
appropriate for consideration.

(d) Corrective Action. The complaint proceeding will be concluded if
the chief judge determines that appropriate action has been taken to
remedy the problem raised by the complaint or that action on the
complaint is no longer necessary because of intervening events.

(e) Appointment of Special Committee. If the complaint is not
dismissed or concluded, the chief judge will promptly appoint a
special committee, constituted as provided in Rule 9, to investigate
the complaint and make recommendations to the judicial council.
However, ordinarily a special committee will not be appointed until
the judge or magistrate judge complained about has been invited to
respond to the complaint and has been allowed a reasonable time to
do so. In the discretion of the chief judge, separate complaints may
be joined and assigned to a single special committee.

(f) Notice of Chief Judge's Action.

(1) If the complaint is dismissed or the proceeding concluded on the
basis of corrective action taken or because intervening events have
made action on the complaint unnecessary, the chief judge will
prepare a supporting memorandum that sets forth the allegations of
the complaint and the reasons for the disposition. The memorandum
will not include the name of the complainant or of the judge or
magistrate judge whose conduct was complained of. The order and the
supporting memorandum, which may be incorporated in one document,
will be filed and provided to the complainant, the judge or
magistrate judge, and any judge entitled to receive a copy of the
complaint pursuant to rule 3(a)(2). The complainant will be notified
of the right to petition the judicial council for review of the
decision and of the deadline for filing a petition.

(2) If a special committee is appointed, the chief judge will notify
the complainant, the judge or magistrate judge whose conduct is
complained of, and any judge entitled to receive a copy of the
complaint pursuant to Rule 3(a)(2) that the matter has been
referred, and will inform them of the membership of the committee.

(g) Report to Judicial Council. The chief judge will from time to
time report to the judicial council of the circuit on actions taken
under this rule.

CHAPTER III: Review of Chief Judge's Disposition of a Complaint

RULE 5. PETITION FOR REVIEW OF CHIEF JUDGE'S DISPOSITION

If the chief judge dismisses a complaint or concludes the proceeding
on the ground that corrective action has been taken or that
intervening events have made action unnecessary, a petition for
review may be addressed to the judicial council of the circuit. The
judicial council may deny the petition for review, or grant the
petition and either return the matter to the chief judge for
further action or, in exceptional cases, take other appropriate
action.

RULE 6. HOW TO PETITION FOR REVIEW OF A DISPOSITION BY THE CHIEF

(a) Time. A petition for review must be received in the office of
the clerk of the court of appeals within 30 days of the date of the

RULE 7. ACTION BY CLERK OF COURT OF APPEALS UPON RECEIPT OF A

(a) Receipt of Timely Petition in Proper Form. Upon receipt of a
petition for review filed within the time allowed and in proper form
under these rules, the clerk of the court of appeals will
acknowledge receipt of the petition. The clerk will promptly cause

member disqualified under rule 18, copies of

(1) the complaint form and statement of facts,

(2) any response filed by the judge or magistrate judge,

the same materials, except for the ballot, to the circuit executive
and the judge or magistrate judge whose conduct is at issue, except
that materials previously sent to a person may be omitted.

(b) Receipt of Untimely Petition. The clerk will not accept for
filing a petition that is received after the deadline set forth in
Rule 6(a), and will so advise the complainant.

(c) Receipt of Timely Petition Not in Proper Form. Upon receipt of a
petition filed within the time allowed but not in proper form under
these rules (including a document that is ambiguous about whether a
petition for review is intended), the clerk will acknowledge receipt
of the petition, call the petitioner's attention to the
deficiencies, and give the petitioner the opportunity to correct the
deficiencies within fifteen days of the date of the clerk's letter
or within the original deadline for filing the petition, whichever
is later. If the deficiencies are corrected within the time allowed,
the clerk will proceed in accordance with paragraph (a) of this
rule. If the deficiencies are not corrected, the clerk will reject
the petition, and will so advise the complainant.

RULE 8. REVIEW BY THE JUDICIAL COUNCIL OF A CHIEF JUDGE'S ORDER

(a) Review Panel. The Chief Judge shall designate six members of the
judicial council (other than the chief judge) to serve as a review
panel. A review panel shall be composed of three circuit judges and
three district judges. Membership on the review panel shall be
changed after four months so that all members of the council shall
serve on a review panel once each year. A review panel shall act for
the judicial council on all petitions for review of a chief judge's
dismissal order, except those petitions referred to the full
membership of the council pursuant to Rule 8(b).

(b) Mail Ballot. Each member of the review panel to whom a ballot
was sent will return a signed ballot, or otherwise communicate the
member's vote, to the chief judge by the return date listed on the
ballot. The ballot form will provide opportunities to vote to

(1) deny the petition for review, or

(2) refer the petition to the full membership of the judicial
council. The form will also provide an opportunity for members to
indicate that they have disqualified themselves from participating
in consideration of the petition. Any member of the review panel
voting to refer the petition to the full membership of the judicial
council, or after such referral, any council member voting to place
the petition on the agenda of a meeting of the judicial council
shall send a brief statement of reasons to all members of the
council. The petition for review shall be referred to the full
membership of the judicial council upon the vote of any member of
the review panel and shall be placed on the agenda of a council
meeting upon the votes of at least two members of the council;
otherwise, the petition for review will be denied.
Upon referral of a petition to the full membership of the judicial
council, the clerk shall send to each member of the council not then
serving on the review panel the materials specified in Rule 7(a).

(c) Availability of Documents. Upon request, the clerk will make
available to any member of the judicial council or to the judge or
magistrate judge complained about any document from the files that
was not sent to the council members pursuant to Rule 7(a).

(d) Quorum and Voting. If a petition is placed on the agenda of a
meeting of the judicial council, a majority of council members
eligible to participate (see Rule 18(b)) shall constitute a quorum
and is required for any effective council action.

(e) Rights of Judge or Magistrate Judge Complained About.

(1) At any time after the filing of a petition for review by a
complainant, the judge or magistrate judge complained about may
file, and before the judicial council makes any decision unfavorable
to the judge or magistrate judge will be invited to file, a written
response with the clerk of the court of appeals. The clerk will
promptly distribute copies of the response to each member of the
judicial council who is not disqualified and to the complainant. The
judge or magistrate judge may not communicate with council members
individually about the matter, either orally or in writing.

(2) The judge or magistrate judge complained about will be provided
with copies of any communications that may be addressed to the
members of the judicial council by the complainant.

(f) Notice of Council Decision.

(1) The order of the judicial council, together with any
accompanying memorandum in support of the order, will be filed and
provided to the complainant, the judge or magistrate judge, and any
judge entitled to receive a copy of the complaint pursuant to rule 3
(a)(2).

(2) If the decision is unfavorable to the complainant, the
complainant will be notified that the law provides for no further
review of the decision.

(3) A memorandum supporting a council order will not include the
name of the complainant or the judge or magistrate judge whose
conduct was complained of. If the order of the council denies a
petition for review of the chief judge's disposition, a supporting
memorandum will be prepared only if the judicial council concludes
that there is a need to supplement the chief judge's explanation.

Chapter IV: Investigation and Recommendation By Special Committee

RULE 9. APPOINTMENT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE

(a) Membership. A special committee appointed pursuant to rule 4(e)
will consist of the chief judge of the circuit and equal numbers of
circuit and district judges. If the complaint is about a district
judge, bankruptcy judge, or magistrate judge, the district judge
members of the committee will be from districts other than the
district of the judge or magistrate judge complained about.

(b) Presiding officer. At the time of appointing the committee, the
chief judge will designate one of its members (who may be the chief
judge) as the presiding officer. When designating another member of
the committee as the presiding officer, the chief judge may also
delegate to such member the authority to direct the clerk of the
court of appeals to issue subpoenas related to proceedings of the
committee.

(c) Bankruptcy Judge or Magistrate Judge as Adviser. If the judicial
officer complained about is a bankruptcy judge or magistrate judge,
the chief judge may designate a bankruptcy judge or magistrate
judge, as the case may be, to serve as an adviser to the committee.
The chief judge will designate such an adviser if, within ten days
of notification of the appointment of the committee, the bankruptcy
judge or magistrate judge complained about requests that an adviser
be designated. The adviser will be from a district other than the
district of the judge or magistrate judge complained about. The
adviser will not vote but will have the other privileges of a member
of the committee.

(d) Provision of Documents. The chief judge will send to each other
member of the committee and to the adviser, if any, copies of
(1) the complaint form and statement of facts, and

(2) any other documents on file pertaining to the complaint (or to
that portion of the complaint referred to the special committee).

(e) Continuing Qualification of Committee Members. A member of a
special committee who was qualified at the time of appointment may
continue to serve on the committee even though the member
relinquishes the position of chief judge, circuit judge, or district
judge, as the case may be, but only if the member continues to hold
office under article III, section 1, of the Constitution of the
United States.

(f) Inability of Committee Member to Complete Service. If a member
of a special committee can no longer serve because of death,
disability, disqualification, resignation, retirement from office,
or other reason, the chief judge of the circuit will determine
whether to appoint a replacement member, either a circuit or
district judge as the case may be. However, no special committee
appointed under these rules will function with only a single member,
and the quorum and voting requirements for a two-member committee
will be applied as if the committee had three members.

RULE 10. CONDUCT OF AN INVESTIGATION

(a) Extent and Methods to be Determined by Committee. Each special
committee will determine the extent of the investigation and the
methods of conducting it that are appropriate in the light of the
allegations of the complaint. If, in the course of the
investigation, the committee develops reason to believe that the
judge or magistrate judge may be engaged in misconduct that is
beyond the scope of the complaint, the committee may, with written
notice to the judge or magistrate judge, expand the scope of the
investigation to encompass such misconduct.

(b) Criminal Matters. If the complaint alleges criminal conduct on
the part of a judge or magistrate judge, or in the event that the
committee becomes aware of possible criminal conduct, the committee
will consult with the appropriate prosecuting authorities to the
extent permitted by 28 U.S.C. § 351 et. seq. in an effort to avoid
compromising any criminal investigation. However, the committee will
make its own determination about the timing of its activities,
having in mind the importance of ensuring the proper administration
of the business of the courts.

(c) Staff. The committee may arrange for staff assistance in the
conduct of the investigation. It may use existing staff of the
judicial branch or may arrange, through the Administrative Office of
the United States Courts, for the hiring of special staff to assist
in the investigation.

(d) Delegation. The committee may delegate duties in its discretion
to subcommittees, to staff members, to individual committee members,
or to an adviser designated under Rule 9©). The authority to
exercise the committee's subpoena powers may be delegated only to
the presiding officer. In the case of failure to comply with such
subpoena, the judicial council or special committee may institute a
contempt proceeding consistent with 28 U.S.C. § 332(d).

(e) Report. The committee will file with the judicial council a
comprehensive report of its investigation, including findings of the
investigation and the committee's recommendations for council
action. Any findings adverse to the judge or magistrate judge will
be based on evidence in the record. The report will be accompanied
by a statement of the vote by which it was adopted, any separate or
dissenting statements of committee members, and the record of any
hearings held pursuant to rule 11.

(f) Voting. All actions of the committee will be by vote of a
majority of all of the members of the committee.

RULE 11. CONDUCT OF HEARINGS BY SPECIAL COMMITTEE

(a) Purpose of Hearings. The committee may hold hearings to take
testimony and receive other evidence, to hear arguments, or both. If
the committee is investigating allegations against more than one
judge or magistrate judge it may, in its discretion, hold joint
hearings or separate hearings.
(b) Notice to Judge or Magistrate Judge Complained About. The judge
or magistrate judge complained about will be given adequate notice
in writing of any hearing held, its purposes, the names of any
witnesses whom the committee intends to call, and the text of any
statements that have been taken from such witnesses. The judge or
magistrate judge may at any time suggest additional witnesses to the
committee.

(c) Committee Witnesses. All persons who are believed to have
substantial information to offer will be called as committee
witnesses. Such witnesses may include the complainant and the judge
or magistrate judge complained about. The witnesses will be
questioned by committee members, staff, or both. The judge or
magistrate judge will be afforded the opportunity to cross-examine
committee witnesses, personally or through counsel.

(d) Witnesses Called by the Judge or Magistrate Judge. The judge or
magistrate judge complained about may also call witnesses and may
examine them personally or through counsel. Such witnesses may also
be examined by committee members, staff, or both.

(e) Witness Fees. Witness fees will be paid as provided in 28 U.S.C.
§ 1821.

(f) Rules of Evidence; Oath. The Federal Rules of Evidence will
apply to any evidentiary hearing except to the extent that
departures from the adversarial format of a trial make them
inappropriate. All testimony taken at such a hearing will be given
under oath or affirmation.

(g) Record and Transcript. A record and transcript will be made of
any hearing held.

RULE 12. RIGHTS OF JUDGE OR MAGISTRATE JUDGE IN INVESTIGATION

(a) Notice. The judge or magistrate judge complained about is
entitled to written notice of the investigation (rule 4(f)(2)), to
written notice of expansion of the scope of an investigation (rule 10
(a)), and to thirty days written notice of any hearing (rule 11(b)).

(b) Presentation of Evidence. The judge or magistrate judge is
entitled to a hearing, and has the right to present evidence and to
compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of documents
at the hearing. Upon request of the judge or magistrate judge, the
chief judge or a designee will direct the clerk of the court of
appeals to issue a subpoena in accordance with 28 U.S.C. §332(d)(1).

(c) Presentation of Argument. The judge or magistrate judge may
submit written argument to the special committee at any time, and
will be given a reasonable opportunity to present oral argument at
an appropriate stage of the investigation.

(d) Attendance at Hearings. The judge or magistrate judge will have
the right to attend any hearing held by the special committee and to
receive copies of the transcript and any documents introduced, as
well as to receive copies of any written arguments submitted by the
complainant to the committee.

(e) Receipt of Committee's Report. The judge or magistrate judge
will have the right to receive the report of the special committee
at the time it is filed with the judicial council.

(f) Representation by Counsel. The judge or magistrate judge may be
represented by counsel in the exercise of any of the rights
enumerated in this rule. The costs of such representation may be
borne by the United States as provided in rule 14(h).

RULE 13. RIGHTS OF COMPLAINANT IN INVESTIGATION

(a) Notice. The complainant is entitled to written notice of the
investigation as provided in rule 4(f)(2). Upon the filing of the
special committee's report to the judicial council, the complainant
will be notified that the report has been filed and is before the
council for decision. The Judicial Council may, in its discretion
release the special committee's report to the complainant.

(b) Opportunity to Provide Evidence. The complainant is entitled to
be interviewed by a representative of the committee. If it is
believed that the complainant has substantial information to offer,
the complainant will be called as a witness at a hearing.

(c) Presentation of Argument. The complainant may submit written
argument to the special committee. In the discretion of the special
committee, the complainant may be permitted to offer oral argument.

(d) Representation by Counsel. A complainant may submit written
argument through counsel and, if permitted to offer oral argument,
may do so through counsel.

Chapter V: Judicial Council Consideration of Recommendations of
Special Committee

RULE 14. ACTION BY JUDICIAL COUNCIL

(a) Purpose of Judicial Council Consideration. After receipt of a
report of a special committee, the judicial council will determine
whether to dismiss the complaint, conclude the proceeding on the
ground that corrective action has been taken or that intervening
events make action unnecessary, refer the complaint to the Judicial
Conference of the United States, or order corrective action.

(b) Basis of Council Action. Subject to the rights of the judge or
magistrate judge to submit argument to the council as provided in
rule 15(a), the council may take action on the basis of the report
of the special committee and the record of any hearings held. If the
council finds that the report and record provide an inadequate basis
for decision, it may

(1) order further investigation and a further report by the special
committee or

(2) conduct such additional investigation as it deems appropriate.

(c) Dismissal. The council will dismiss a complaint if it concludes

(1) that the claimed conduct, even if the claim is true, is
not "conduct prejudicial to the effective and expeditious
administration of the business of the courts" and does not indicate
a mental or physical disability resulting in inability to discharge
the duties of office;

(2) that the complaint is directly related to the merits of a
decision or procedural ruling;

(3) that the facts on which the complaint is based have not been
demonstrated; or

(4) that, under the statute, the complaint is otherwise not
appropriate for consideration.

(d) Conclusion of the Proceeding on the Basis of Corrective Action
Taken. The council will conclude the complaint proceeding if it
determines that appropriate action has already been taken to remedy
the problem identified in the complaint, or that intervening events
make such action unnecessary.

(e) Referral to Judicial Conference of the United States. The
judicial council may, in its discretion, refer a complaint to the
Judicial Conference of the United States with the council's
recommendations for action. It is required to refer such a complaint
to the Judicial Conference of the United States if the council
determines that a circuit judge or district judge may have engaged
in conduct –

(1) that might constitute grounds for impeachment; or

(2) that, in the interest of justice, is not amenable to resolution
by the judicial council.

(f) Order of Corrective Action. If the complaint is not disposed of
under paragraphs (c) through (e) of this rule, the judicial council
will take such other action as is authorized by law to assure the
effective and expeditious administration of the business of the
courts.

(g) Combination of Actions. Referral of a complaint to the Judicial
Conference of the United States under paragraph (e) or to a district
court under paragraph (f) of this rule will not preclude the council
from simultaneously taking such other action under paragraph (f) as
is within its power.

(h) Recommendation About Fees. If the complaint has been finally
dismissed, the judicial council, upon request of the judicial
officer, shall consider whether to recommend that the Director of
the Administrative Office reimburse the judicial officer for
attorney's fees and expenses.

(i) Notice of Action of Judicial Council. Council action will be by
written order. Unless the council finds that, for extraordinary
reasons, it would be contrary to the interests of justice, the order
will be accompanied by a memorandum, which may be incorporated into
one document, setting forth the factual determinations on which it
is based and the reasons for the council action. The memorandum will
not include the name of the complainant or of the judge or
magistrate judge whose conduct was complained about. The order and
the supporting memorandum will be filed and provided to the
complainant, the judge or magistrate judge, and any judge entitled
to receive a copy of the complaint pursuant to rule 3(a)(2).
However, if the complaint has been referred to the Judicial
Conference of the United States pursuant to paragraph (e) of this
rule and the council determines that disclosure would be contrary to
the interests of justice, such disclosure need not be made. The
complainant and the judge or magistrate judge will be notified of
any right to seek review of the judicial council's decision by the
Judicial Conference of the United States and of the procedure for
filing a petition for review.

(j) Public Availability of Council Action. Materials related to the
council's action will be made public at the time and in the manner
set forth in rule 17.

RULE 15. PROCEDURES FOR JUDICIAL COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF A SPECIAL
COMMITTEE'S REPORT

(a) Rights of Judge or Magistrate Judge Complained About. Within ten
days after the filing of the report of a special committee, the
judge or magistrate judge complained about may address a written
response to all of the members of the judicial council. The judge or
magistrate judge will also be given an opportunity to present oral
argument to the council, personally or through counsel. The judge or
magistrate judge may not communicate with council members
individually about the matter, either orally or in writing, except
as the judicial council has authorized one or more of its members to
engage in such communications on its behalf.

(b) Conduct of Additional Investigation by the Council. If the
judicial council decides to conduct additional investigation, the
judge or magistrate judge complained about will be given adequate
prior notice in writing of that decision and of the general scope
and purpose of the additional investigation. The conduct of the
investigation will be generally in accordance with the procedures
set forth in rules 10 through 13 for the conduct of an investigation
by a special committee. However, if hearings are held, the council
may limit testimony to avoid unnecessary repetition of testimony
presented before the special committee.

(c) Quorum and Voting. A majority of council members eligible to
participate (see Rule 18(b)) shall constitute a quorum and is
required for any effective council action, except that, in
accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 152(e), a decision to remove a
bankruptcy judge from office requires a majority of all the members
of the council.

Chapter VI: Miscellaneous Rules

RULE 16. CONFIDENTIALITY

(a) General Rule. Consideration of a complaint by the chief judge, a
special committee, or the judicial council will be treated as
confidential business, and information about such consideration will
not be disclosed by any judge, magistrate judge, or employee of the
judicial branch or any person who records or transcribes testimony
except in accordance with these rules.

(b) Files. All files related to complaints of misconduct or
disability, whether maintained by the clerk, the chief judge,
members of a special committee, members of the judicial council, or
staff, and whether or not the complaint was accepted for filing,
will be maintained separate and apart from all other files and
records, with appropriate security precautions to ensure
confidentiality.

(c) Disclosure of Memoranda of Reasons. Memoranda supporting orders
of the chief judge or the judicial council, and dissenting opinions
or separate statements of members of the council, may contain such
information and exhibits as the authors deem appropriate.

under rule 14(e) to the Judicial Conference of the United States,
the clerk will provide the Judicial Conference with copies of the
report of the special committee and any other documents and records

determination. Upon request of the Judicial Conference or its

in connection with their consideration of a referred complaint or a
petition under 28 U.S.C. § 355 for review of a council order, the
clerk will furnish any other records related to the investigation.

(e) Availability to District Court. If the judicial council directs
the initiation of proceedings for removal of a magistrate judge
under Rule 14(f)(3), the clerk will provide to the chief judge of
the district court copies of the report of the special committee and
any other documents and records that were before the judicial
council at the time of its determination. Upon request of the chief
judge of the district court, the judicial council may authorize
release of any other records relating to the investigation.

(f) Impeachment Proceedings. The judicial council may release to the
legislative branch any materials that are believed necessary to an
impeachment investigation of a judge or a trial on articles of
impeachment.

(g) Consent of Judge or Magistrate Judge Complained About. Any
materials from the files may be disclosed to any person upon the
written consent of both the judge or magistrate judge complained
about and the chief judge of the circuit. The chief judge may

materials disclosed.

(h) Disclosure by Judicial Council in Special Circumstances. The
judicial council may authorize is closure of information about the
consideration of a complaint, including the papers, documents, and
transcripts relating to the investigation, to the extent that the
council concludes that such disclosure is justified by special
circumstances and is not prohibited by 28 U.S.C. § 355.

(i) Disclosure of Identity by Judge or Magistrate Judge Complained
About. Nothing in this rule will preclude the judge or magistrate
judge complained about from acknowledging that such judge is the
judge or magistrate judge referred to in documents made public
pursuant to rule 17.

RULE 17. PUBLIC AVAILABILITY OF DECISIONS

(a) General Rule. A docket-sheet record of orders of the chief judge
and the judicial council and the texts of any memoranda supporting
such orders and any dissenting opinions or separate statements by
members of the judicial council will be made public when final
action on the complaint has been taken and is no longer subject to
review.

(1) If the complaint is finally disposed of without appointment of a
special committee or of it is disposed of by council order
dismissing the complaint for reasons other than moot ness, or
because intervening events have made action on the complaint
unnecessary, the publicly available materials will not disclose the
name of the judge or magistrate judge complained about without such
judge's consent.

(2) If the complaint is finally disposed of by censure or reprimand
by means of private communication, the publicly available materials
will not disclose either the name of the judge or magistrate judge
complained about or the text of the reprimand.

(3) If the complaint is finally disposed of by any other action
taken pursuant to rule 14(d) or (f) except dismissal because
intervening events have made action on the complaint unnecessary,
the text of the dispositive order will be included in the materials
made public, and the name of the judge or magistrate judge will be
disclosed.

(4) If the complaint is dismissed as moot at any time after the
appointment of a special committee, the judicial council will
determine whether the name of the judge or magistrate judge is to be
disclosed.

(5) The name of the complainant will not be disclosed in materials
made public under this rule unless the chief judge orders such
disclosure.

(b) Manner of Making Public. The records referred to in paragraph
(a) will be made public by placing them in a publicly accessible
file in the office of the clerk of the court of appeals at the
United States State. The clerk will send copies of the publicly
available materials to the Administrative Office of the United
States Supreme Courts, where such materials will also be available
for public inspection. In cases in which memoranda appear to have
precedential value, the chief judge may cause them to be published.

(c) Decisions of Judicial Conference Standing Committee. To the
extent consistent with the policy of the Judicial Conference
Committee to Review Circuit Council Conduct and Disability Orders,
opinions of that committee about complaints arising from this
circuit will also be made available to the public in the office of
the clerk of the court of appeals.

(d) Special Rule for Decisions of Judicial Council. When the
judicial council has taken final action on the basis of a report of
a special committee, and no petition for review has been filed with
the Judicial Conference within thirty days of the council's action,
the materials referred to in paragraph (a) will be made public in
accordance with this rule as if there were no further right of
review.

(e) Complaints Referred to the Judicial Conference of the United
States. If a complaint is referred to the Judicial Conference of the
United States pursuant to rule 14(e), materials relating to the
complaint will be made public only as may be ordered by the Judicial
Conference.

RULE 18. DISQUALIFICATION

(a) Complainant. If the complaint is filed by a judge, that judge
will be disqualified from participation in any consideration of the
complaint except to the extent that these rules provide for
participation by a complainant. If the complaint is filed by a
judge, or identified by the chief judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 351
(a), that judge will be disqualified from participation in any
consideration of the complaint except to the extent that these rules
provide for participation by a complainant.

(b) Judge Complained About. A judge whose conduct is the subject of
a complaint will be disqualified from participating in any
consideration of the complaint except to the extent that these rules
provide for participation by a judge or magistrate judge who is
complained about. This subsection shall not apply where a
complainant files complaints against a majority of the members of
the judicial council, in which event, the council members, including
those complained against, may refer the complaints, with or without
a recommendation for appropriate action, to the Judicial Conference
of the United States or to the judicial council of another circuit,
or may take other appropriate action, including disposition of the
complaints on their merits.

judicial council who is appointed to a special committee will not be
disqualified from participating in council consideration of the

council of the circuit, (3) the Judicial Conference of the United
States, and (4) the Committee to Review Circuit Council Conduct and
Disability Orders of the Judicial Conference of the United States.
The disqualification will continue until all proceedings regarding
the complaint are finally terminated, with no further right of
review. The proceedings will be deemed terminated thirty days after
the final action of the judicial council if no petition for review
has at that time been filed with the
Judicial Conference.

(e) Substitute for Chief Judge. If the chief judge of the circuit is
disqualified or otherwise unable to participate in consideration of
the complaint, the duties and responsibilities of the chief judge
under these rules will be assigned to the circuit judge eligible to

has been filed) or the judicial council.

(c) Petition for Review of Chief Judge's Disposition. A petition to
the judicial council for review of the chief judge's disposition of
a complaint may be withdrawn by the petitioner at any time before
the judicial council acts on the petition.

RULE 19A. ABUSE OF THE COMPLAINT PROCEDURE

If a complainant files vexatious, harassing, or scurrilous
complaints, or otherwise abuses the complaint procedure, the
council, after affording the complainant an opportunity to respond
in writing, may restrict or impose conditions upon the complainant's
use of the complaint procedure. Any restrictions or conditions
imposed upon a complainant shall be reconsidered by the council
periodically.

RULE 20. AVAILABILITY OF OTHER PROCEDURES

The availability of the complaint procedure under these rules and 28
U.S.C. § 351 et. seq. will not preclude the chief judge of the
circuit or the judicial council of the circuit from considering any
information that may come to their attention suggesting that a judge
or magistrate judge has engaged in conduct prejudicial to the
effective and expeditious administration of the business of the
courts or is unable to discharge all the duties of office by reason
of disability.

RULE 21. AVAILABILITY OF RULES AND FORMS
