Digest of Decisions of the Court of Judicial Discipline

654 A.2d 676 (Pa. Ct. Jud. Disc. 1994)
Filed November 23, 1994
Opinion in Support of Removal from Office, Johnson, J.;
Memorandum in Support of Removal from Office, McCloskey, P.J.;
Opinion in Support of Dismissal of Petition, Donohue, J.
Appeal Quashed, 543 Pa. 734, 673 A.2d 339 (1995)
The Judicial Conduct Board filed a Petition to Implement Automatic Forfeiture of Judicial Office based on District Justice Raymond Gentile's conviction for crimes of official oppression and obstruction of government functions. The Court considered whether the 1993 Constitutional Amendment of Article V, §18, relating to the discipline of judicial officers, and the provisions for automatic forfeiture for conviction for "misbehavior in office," were self-executing, and if not, how that term should be interpreted. The Court could not garner a majority vote, and therefore dismissed the Petition.
