A Westchester County, N.Y., judge has taken an attorney to task for standing “steadfast and blindly behind” an embittered matrimonial client’s recusal motion and her “seemingly uncompromised and unaudited fifty-three page diatribe” against the court for rejecting her bid to relocate to Texas with her children.

In D.I v. S.I., 14749-06, New York Supreme Court Justice Lewis J. Lubell said that to grant Sally Reed Impastato’s recusal motion would be to allow her to “‘judge-shop,’ and thereby benefit from her own post-hearing attack on not only the Court’s determination … but, in a most inappropriate and unfounded manner, the Court itself and the Attorney for the Children.”
