Florida judge resigns after allegedly missing work and making court staff run personal errands
A Florida judge facing discipline for allegedly missing work and having court staff drive him to events, do his online shopping and perform other personal errands has resigned from the bench, according to the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission.
The commission found “clear and convincing evidence” that Zilber engaged in the “intemperate treatment or misuse of court staff” and had excessive absences.
Zilber did not contest the inquiry’s findings and “took immediate responsibility for his conduct,” according to an April 8 stipulation document.
His attorney had no comment on Tuesday because the case is still pending.
