Attorney James Locatelli of Las Cruces, NM; ethical misfit

 

The state of Pennsylvania presented James Locatelli with a law license in 1984 after he graduated from Wayne State University Law School.

 

The New Mexico Judicial Standards Commission found Jimmy guilty of the following misconduct.

 

Jimmy’s misconduct took place while was sitting as a Municipal Court Judge in Las Cruces.

 

In a despicable display of arrogance, Jimmy went about dismissing 800 cases over a two-year period of time without allowing any commend from prosecuting attorneys.

 

With the knowledge that he likely would be removed from the bench, Jimmy did what any coward would do before that happened, he resigned his judgeship.

As we speak (ca. March 2014), Jimmy practices with the Office of the Public Defender at 506 Sough Main Street in  Las Cruces, New Mexico.
