"Misconduct charge dropped for judge's donation"

"Misconduct charge dropped for judge's donation": The Salt Lake Tribune today contains an article that begins, "Utah's chief federal judge, Tena Campbell, will not face punishment for breaking the rules by donating to Barack Obama's presidential campaign. Because she admitted the error, promised to stop donating to candidates and publicly apologized, she will not face any serious sanction, according to Robert H. Henry, chief justice of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. Henry dropped a charge of judicial misconduct on Nov. 11, in a dismissal order that doesn't name Campbell, but the series of events it describes matches her case."

I have posted online at this link a copy of last week's dismissal order.
