The Judicial Conduct Board filed a formal complaint against Judge Gordon Daghir based upon (1) his acceptance of Penn State football tickets from a litigant in a divorce case that later came before him, and (2) failing to make timely decisions. The Court accepted the stipulated findings of fact and conclusions of law, agreed to by the parties, which specified that Judge Daghir had violated (1) Canon 2 of the Code of Judicial Conduct by engaging in conduct which was improper and created an appearance of impropriety, and (2) Canon 3A(5), which directs judges to dispose promptly of the business of the courts. Based upon the facts and conclusions, the Court issued a written reprimand, orally reprimanded Judge Daghir, and suspended him for seven days without pay.
