In re: Former District Justice Robert S. Chesna --- No. 6 JD 94

Per Curiam Order filed March 28, 1995;
Per Curiam Order filed May 25, 1995.
The Judicial Conduct Board filed a formal complaint against former District Justice Robert Chesna based on his conviction for unlawful operation of gambling machines. The Court considered whether his conduct constituted a violation of Rules 1, 2A, or 13 of the Rules Governing Standards of Conduct of District Justices, conduct prohibited by law under Article V, §17(b) of the Pennsylvania Constitution, and/or conduct which brings the judiciary into disrepute. The Court concluded that Chesna's conduct (1) violated Rule 13, (2) constituted conduct which brought the judiciary into disrepute, and (3) constituted an activity that was prohibited by law, which subjected him to the imposition of sanctions. The Court removed Chesna from office and held him ineligible to hold judicial office in the future.
