Heading: Parts 5 through 12 Arraignments of December 6, 1969

Text: 1. That certain court transcript which has been marked Exhibit D-6 has been acknowledged by respondent as a true and correct transcription of the court proceedings of December 6, 1969. 2. Also the Commission has actually listened to the court's tape 4M576, Log No. 0646 to 0750.8 in order to better understand the correct nature of the proceedings. 3. As to the arraignments of December 6, 1969, the Commission finds the following factors: a. That December 6, 1969 was a Saturday. b. The transcript of the December 6, 1969 proceedings does not reflect the presence of any lawyer on behalf of either the City of Fairbanks or the State of Alaska. 4. The Commission finds from listening to the tape that respondent gives the impression he has a cavalier attitude toward court proceedings, conveying the impression that most of the matters were unimportant and frivolous, all of which detracts from the dignity of judicial proceedings. 5. The respondent's conduct is found to be obstructive to the administration of justice.
