A state district judge dismissed five indictments against suspended Judge Christopher Dupuy recently, but also ordered the Galveston jurist not to file any more pro se motions in his own criminal cases.

During an August 13th hearing, visiting judge Ryan Patrick of Harris County's 177th District Court dismissed five of the indictments, denied motions to quash two other indictments pending against Dupuy and approved a protective order prohibiting Dupuy from filing any more motions while he has court appointed counsel, confirmed David Glickler, an assistant Texas Attorney General who is prosecuting Dupuy.
