Absent aggravating factors, a judge's tardiness in rendering decisions is a matter for court administrators, not the Commission on Judicial Conduct, the lawyer for a soon-to-be New York Supreme Court justice argued Tuesday before the New York Court of Appeals. The attorney conceded that Judge James Gilpatric allowed some matters to go on too long -- such as a small claims matter that he took 31 months to decide -- but asked whether an administrative judge could have done more to help Gilpatric clear the backlog.
