In Re Daniel E. Hall
IFP petition
Questions presented
-
Whether the Judicial Council of the First Circuit may disregard mandatory provisions of the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act and the Rules for JudicialConduct and Judicial-Disability Proceedings by refusing to reassign misconduct complaints under Rule 25(f) once all circuit judges are disqualified.
-
Whether the Council may suppress review by severing related complaints in violation of Rules 6(b)-(c) and by failing to docket subject judges under Rule 8(a).
-
Whether the reappointment of Magistrate Judge Andrea K. Johnstone despite notice of misconduct, and the appointment of Magistrate Judge Talesha L. Saint-Marc in violation of 28 U.S.C. § 631(b)(5), constitute unlawful acts requiring correction under the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act.
-
Whether mandamus relief is warranted under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), where the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act provides no avenue for judicial review and no other adequate remedy exists. I.
