A Western New York town justice who was the subject of an investigation launched from a complaint about her activity on Facebook resigned from office and has agreed to never seek to rejoin the bench, the State Commission on Judicial Conduct announced.
Dawn Keppler, a justice of the Shelby Town Court and an associate justice of the Ridgeway Town Court, was informed in April that the commission was looking into a complaint that she “improperly promoted prejudicial and inflammatory content on Facebook, and that she inappropriately lent the prestige of her judicial office to advance the private interests of others,” according to an SCJC news release.
