Danos v. Jones
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · 2011-08-26 · cited 40×
Rhonda Danos, a secretary to U.S. District Judge G. Thomas Porteous, Jr., sued the Judicial Council of the Fifth Circuit and its members after the Council publicly reprimanded the judge for misconduct and suspended his authority to employ staff, leading to her termination. The district court dismissed her claims that the Council's order was unconstitutional and ultra vires. The Fifth Circuit affirmed, concluding that the claims became moot after Porteous's removal from office by impeachment and Senate conviction. The court also held that sovereign immunity barred the suit because the Council possessed at least a colorable statutory basis under 28 U.S.C. § 332(d)(1) to restrict the judge's hiring authority as part of addressing misconduct.
