A part-time town court justice has resigned while under investigation by the New York Commission on Judicial Conduct

In January 2025, the Commission apprised Judge Green that it was investigating complaints alleging that, among other things, he:

 Behaved in an undignified, unprofessional and otherwise inappropriate manner toward various lawyers and litigants, such as discussing the merits of a case with an unrepresented defendant, making coercive and otherwise inappropriate comments to defendants, indicating he had prejudged them to be guilty;

 Impermissibly appeared as a lawyer in a local court and let some of his clients appear in his own court; and

 Solicited the help of prosecutors appearing before him on behalf of an applicant for an internship in their office.

In March 2025, the Commission apprised Judge Green that it was investigating an additional complaint, alleging that he had engaged in partisan political activity, such as soliciting voters to change their political affiliations.
