nustabet gaming White Judge Who Threatened to Shoot Black Teens at Party Resigns
A New York judge who invoked her position and threatened to shoot Black teenagers at a party has resigned and dropped her monthslong fight to remain on the bench after a state commission recommended that she be forced to leave office.
The judge, Justice Erin P. Gall of State Supreme Court in Oneida County, was suspended with pay from her $232,600-a-year position in July after the state Commission on Judicial Conduct determined that she had engaged in a “racially offensive, profane” tirade at a high school graduation party.
Justice Gall said at the time that she planned to appeal the panel’s recommendation to the state Court of Appeals. But in a motion filed by her lawyer on Wednesday, she said she was giving up her request that the court review the matter.
“The decision to no longer pursue review and abandon hope of remaining on the bench has been extremely difficult,” she said in the motion, which the court, New York’s highest, made public.

Her lawyer, Robert F. Julian, did not immediately return a request for comment.
Robert H. Tembeckjian, the judicial commission’s administrator, said the panel would submit a formal reply to Justice Gall’s motion next week but welcomed her decision.
