Digest of Decisions of the Court of Judicial Discipline
In re: District Justice Peter Paul Nakoski, Jr. --- No 4. JD 98
Affirmed, 563 Pa. 145 , 758 A.2d 1155 (2000)
742 A.2d 260 (Pa.Ct.Jud.Disc. 1999)
Filed October 19, 1999
Decision and Order, Sweeney, J.
Complaint for discipline filed by Judicial Conduct Board alleging that Nakoski engaged in racist conduct while attending recertification course. After trial, the Court found that District Justice Nakoski had an excellent reputation for fairness and evenhandedness, without any racial bigotry. Although the Court concluded that alleged statements did not amount to obstruction or interference with Nakoski’s ability to preside over judicial proceedings, his conduct on this occasion satisfied a common sense test for reproach.
