Grossman. The arresting officer reported seeing Schwartz's vehicle swerving. In taped conversations, Schwartz asked the officer if he could leave his car and return to his hotel room.

Victoria Henley, director of the commission, said the censure "has no influence on the judge's ability to preside, but it will be taken into account if there is subsequent misconduct."ning to remove him from the Superior Court, the commission cited factors including the judge's absence of prior discipline, his general integrity and the likelihood he would not engage in future misconduct.
