The Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct found Fredericka guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Failed to disclose her attendance at the luncheon to all parties involving is said litigation

As a direct consequence of her misconduct the cheerleaders for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Texas Supreme Court punished Fredericka by gifting her with a complimentary warning.

As we speak (ca. January 2023), Fredericka continues to dispense her so-called brand of jurisprudence as a District Court judge in Houston, Texas.
