Report: Investigators Allege North Texas Judge ‘Abandoned’ Job
Investigators said Brown abandoned her post and found a reasonable basis to believe a mental condition is affecting her work, court documents said.
- On Monday, the Judicial Council disclosed documents seeking to temporarily strip District Judge Ada Brown of her docket, alleging she "abandoned her post as a federal judge."
- Chief Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod initiated the investigation into whether Brown "suffers from a mental condition that currently interferes with her ability to perform the responsibilities of her office."
- Investigators cited 10 stated reasons for the determination, including refusing to manage her docket, recusing from over 40 cases without reason, and "making racial insults to judges and court staff."
- In September, the Judicial Council reassigned all of Brown's cases and banned new assignments for three months, while ordering a psychiatric examination within 30 days that Brown is declining to attend.
- Brown has not filed a response to the recommendation, previously claiming judges moved cases without her knowledge and citing an "inability to force" District Judge Reed O'Connor to produce evidence.
