Under fire from The Wall Street Journal over financial conflicts of interest, U.S. District Judge Rodney Gilstrap has begun formally notifying parties that his family no longer owns their stock. The judge indicated that he intends to continue presiding over their cases “as of now” but will entertain objections.

The Journal featured Gilstrap in a recent article about 131 federal judges who have held financial interests in parties appearing in their court. The newspaper, which teamed with the FreeLaw Project, said it found 685 instances over the last decade in which the judge or his spouse had what the journal considered a disqualifying conflict of interest, the most of any judges in its survey.
