Judge Jenny Rivera could be kicked off the bench for failing to comply with a rule requiring proof of vaccination against COVID-19.
NEW YORK — A judge on New York’s highest court has been referred to a disciplinary commission and could be kicked off the bench for failing to comply with a rule requiring proof of vaccination against COVID-19.
Asked about Rivera’s status, Chalfen said: “She is not in compliance with the court’s vaccination policy.” She was absent from Tuesday’s ceremony, attended by Gov. Kathy Hochul, celebrating new appeals court judges. Chalfen said of those employees, 103 are being sent termination letters, one has resigned, 11 have said they are retiring, and 41 have chosen to comply with the mandate and will return to duty.That deadline did not apply to judges, who can only be removed by the Commission on Judicial Conduct. The commission has never sanctioned or removed a Court of Appeals judge, according to a database of its decisions.
