- The Attorney General is considering criminal contempt proceedings against Burke and several relatives after the judge condemned a sustained attack on the courts’ authority.
- A Disciplinary Appeals Panel is scheduled for December 13 to hear Burke’s appeal of his dismissal, as he prepares a Supreme Court filing and argues the panel should wait.
