Section 401. Initial Procedure

When the Judicial Conduct Board files a Petition for Relief under C.J.D.R.P. No. 701, the Court Administrator shall inform the President Judge of the filing, and at his or her request shall immediately mail or fax a copy of the filing to the President Judge. If, upon review of the Petition, the President Judge deems that the matter should be expedited, he or she may convene the Court in person or by teleconference to determine whether the judicial officer must respond before the normal 14-day response period provided under C.J.D.R.P. No. 703. If the Court concludes that an expedited answer is warranted, the Court shall so notify the respondent by Order.
