Digest of Decisions of the Court of Judicial Discipline
In re: District Justice Ronald Amati --- No. 2 JD 01
776 A.2d 371 (Pa.Ct.Jud.Disc. 2001)
Filed April 24, 2001
Opinion and Order, Horgos, J.
The Judicial Conduct Board obtained an interim suspension order based upon District Justice Amati's three felony convictions for his involvement in video gambling enterprises. The Court concluded that, because (1) the crimes involved dishonesty, and (2) occurred while the Respondent served as a District Justice, an interim suspension without pay was appropriate. The Court held that it would undermine the integrity of the judiciary to allow the Respondent to continue to serve and receive his salary and benefits.
