A misconduct complaint against former Chief Judge Richard Roberts of the federal district court in Washington has been dismissed.
The dismissal order, dated March 18, does not name Roberts. It refers to a D.C. district court judge who retired on March 16. Roberts retired on March 16, the same day a civil lawsuit was filed in Utah that accused him of sexual abuse 35 years ago. The order dismissing the complaint, which the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit received on March 11, did not specify the nature of the allegations.
