Overview

• The Sala Superior confirmed the validity and seat allocation for the Tribunal de Disciplina Judicial by a narrow 3–2 margin, keeping the constancias de mayoría in force.
• Celia Maya, Eva Verónica de Gyvés, Indira Isabel García, Bernardo Bátiz and Rufino H. León were ratified as magistrates for the new disciplinary body.
• The majority—Mónica Soto, Felipe de la Mata and Felipe Fuentes—said there was not a single proof of use or impact of the guides and deemed the photos, digital files, videos and press items of limited probative value.
• Janine Otálora and Reyes Rodríguez dissented, urging annulment and warning that the ruling sets an overly demanding evidentiary threshold.
• The tribunal declined to refer the matter to the INE for further investigation, and the TDJ—replacing the Consejo de la Judicatura Federal—is slated to begin operating in early September.
