Question presented
Petitioner, a Kentucky Circuit Judge, has been charged by the Kentucky Judicial Conduct Commission in a civil proceeding that could result in removal from her elected judicial office. Petitioner also has been charged in a state criminal indictment for the same underlying conduct. Petitioner sought and was denied a stay of the administrative proceedings in order to protect her Fifth Amendment right to remain silent in the criminal case. Did the denial of the stay in the civil proceedings deprive Petitioner of her fundamental Fifth Amendment right to remain silent in the state criminal proceedings? (i)
