A New York commission dropped its formal proceedings against Kyle R. Canning after he agreed never to seek or accept judicial office in the future.
A judge in upstate New York was forced to resign after posting an image of a noose on his Facebook page with a caption claiming people must be punished in order to “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” officials said Tuesday.
Canning shared the Facebook post in February 2018, just a few weeks after taking office, but later deleted it after the commission sent him a letter questioning its appropriateness. The stipulation, filed in July, states that Canning “failed to act in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary.”
