Description
HUNTER, J. ON PETITION FOR REHEARING - Petitioner was suspended without pay from the office of circuit Judge of Ripley County in an opinion handed down by this Court on February 20, 1975, and reported at 323 N.E.2d 192. In his petition for rehearing, the only question presented by petitioner, and not considered in our original opinion, is whether petitioner's suspension denies him equal protection of the laws as guaranteed by the Indiana and United States Constitutions. We conclude that petitioner's equal protection rights were not violated by his suspension and deny his petition for rehearing. Petitioner bases his equal protection claim upon the action taken by this Court in another disciplinary action involving a circuit Judge, In re Evrard (1974), Ind., 317 N.E.2d 841. Petitioner asserts that the conduct of Judge Evrard, while more egregious, resulted in suspension but with pay, while petitioner was suspended without pay for lesser transgressions.
