Update regarding Associated Press article headlined “Fed judge keeps segregated country club membership”: Following up on my post on this matter from yesterday evening linking to this Associated Press article, I have now obtained electronic copies of the Sixth Circuit Judicial Council’s decision and the opinions dissenting therefrom and the findings of fact, analysis and recommendations of the standing investigating committee of the Sixth Circuit Judicial Council. The electronic copies of these documents that I received have the name of the complainant redacted.

On April 15, 2011, Prison Legal News published an article about this matter headlined “Sixth Circuit OK’s Federal Judge’s Membership in Racist and Sexist Country Club.”

The person who provided these documents to me advised me that the complainant made these documents available to the news media after the Circuit Executive’s Office of the Sixth Circuit advised the complainant that no further review of the Judicial Council’s decision was available. According to my source, only after the complainant made these documents available to the news media did the Circuit Executive’s Office of the Sixth Circuit advise the complainant that further review of the decision of the Sixth Circuit’s Judicial Council could be sought from the Judicial Conference of the United States.
