FAMILY COURT JUDGE SHOULD HAVE RECUSED HERSELF AFTER DEATH THREAT BY FATHER.

The Fourth Department determined the Family Court judge should have recused herself from a dispositional hearing in a permanent neglect proceeding. Father had made a death threat against the judge following the finding of permanent neglect:

It is well settled that, “[a]bsent a legal disqualification under Judiciary Law § 14, a . . . Judge is the sole arbiter of recusal” … , and the decision whether to recuse is committed to his or her discretion … . Under these circumstances, and particularly in view of the order of protection, we conclude that the court abused its discretion in refusing to recuse itself … . Matter of Trinity E. (Robert E.), 2016 NY Slip Op 07804, 4th Dept 11-18-16
