Second Circuit Judge Barbara Kaye Hobbs has been suspended for 60 days without pay and ordered to pay a fine of $30,000 for her involvement in her son’s arrest.

The Supreme Court, acting May 19 in Case No. SC-20605, also ordered Hobbs to appear for a public reprimand and attend an employee management program.

The court stopped short of removing Judge Hobbs from the bench, as suggested by the Judicial Qualifications Commission, saying removal is the most severe form of discipline a judge may face, and it is typically reserved for when a judge intentionally commits “serious and grievous wrongs of a clearly unredeeming nature.”
