On July 29, the Department of Justice filed a complaint against district court Judge James Boasberg, alleging that the Judge's comments to the Judicial Conference suggesting he was concerned that the Trump Administration might disobey district court orders violated multiple Canons of the Code of Conduct for United States Judges.
To avoid potential conflicts within the federal courts in D.C. (where Boasberg sits), the complaint was transferred to the Judicial Council of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
In December, Chief Judge Jeffrey Sutton of the Sixth Circuit dismissed the complaint, and the order of dismissal was released this week.
