Judgment (1 paragraphs)

[1]

For the reasons given, I find the charge to be valid and, accordingly, I find that the decision of Judge Ross was not vitiated by jurisdictional error or by error on the face of the record. That being so, the claim of the plaintiff fails. Counsel may wish to make submissions as to costs.
