seated welcome to the Florida Supreme Court we're with Judge Dredd Sylar would you please step up to the podium Sylar you are here before the court today because of ethical misconduct in your official role as a judge I must begin by saying how Saturday this is for you for us and for the entire judicial system at the most fundamental level you had damaged the public's trust and confidence in our state courts this is a very serious matter and one that the court takes very seriously the effectiveness of our judicial of our judiciary in our democratic form of government ultimately rests on the trust and confidence that people confer upon judges like you though none of us you don't do what you have done we have commanded you to appear today for a public reprimand that is being broadcast throughout the state it is one way we can assure the public that we take ethical misconduct right judge very seriously and that we will not hesitate to punish errant judges in a pub in a most public way judge Wright Zeigler this court in its opinion has accepted a stipulation that you entered with the state judicial qualifications Commission about the misconduct you have exhibited we have agreed to and we have accepted this stipulation as one that best serves the interest of justice in a sound judicial administration the misconduct in this instance arose when you will be an interview by the first District Court of Appeal Judicial Nominating Commission early in those interviews the Judicial Nominating Commission question you about your driving record later on March 17 2014 you made an opening statement saying that you take the Judicial Nominating Commission concerns about your driving record very seriously however at no time during or after your interview did you inform the Judicial Nominating Commission that you had received a speeding ticket that same morning that calls you to be arrived late to the meeting the judicial qualifications Commission concluded and you have agreed that the incompleteness of your statement on that occasion constituted an ethical violation on September 18 2014 you had another interview before the Judicial Nominating Commission during which the subject of your driving record arose again once again you avoided any mention of the March 17 2014 traffic citation you had received even though you later acknowledged you should have mentioned it to avoid confusion and to ensure that a Judicial Nominating Commission was aware you were not trying to avoid the issue the judicial qualifications Commission entered into a stipulation with you that your conduct has violated canons 1 Canon 2 a Canon 4 H sub 2 in Canon 4 a sub 3 these canons require a judge at all times to act in a manner that upholds the integrity and independence of the judiciary to avoid the appearance of impropriety and to avoid engaging in any activity that means the judicial office tender in a judge is clearly critical the judicial qualifications Commission determined here that your lack of candor may not have involved intentional falsehoods but was certainly confusing in misleading the judicial qualifications Commission further found that omitting important information requested by the Commission in later providing inaccurate formation was inappropriate judge Rex Adler your condom demonstrated a lack of candor not befitting the high standards of ethical conduct expected of all judges in this state for these reasons we'll hereby reprimand you for your ethical violations finally judge Rex Hudler we encourage you to review the prior disciplinary cases that this court from time to time has been required to address you will find a number they have involved a single breach of ethics during a judge's career with none default afterward we hope that this also will be the case with you you also will find a much smaller number of cases in which judges did not learn from their mistakes and committed yet another violation we advise you to remember what our prior cases have consistently held a second ethical breach by a judge will be viewed much more harshly your public reprimand is concluded and you may leave you
