Former Judge Philip Franklin of Locke, NY; slacker, loser

The New York Commission on Judicial Conduct found Dawn guilty of engaging in the following misconduct, all of which took place while he was employed as Justice of the Shelby Town Court, an Associate Justice of the Ridgeway Town Court, and an Associate Justice of the Yates Town Court (Orleans County).

• Failed to make mandatory reports
• Failed to make remittances to the State Comptroller in a timely manner, which resulted in the State
• Comptroller directing the Supervisor of the Town of Locke to stop payment of Judge Franklin's judicial salary
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)

As one would suspect, Phil did what any coward would do when it appeared she would be tossed off the bench, she resigned in mid-November 2022.

As we speak (ca. April 2023), it is rumored that Phil has applied for a job as a bathroom monitor at the Walmart Supercenter Store at 5735 South Transfit Road in Lockport, New York.
