PIERCE, Justice,
concurring in part and dissenting in part:
¶ 33. I concur in part and dissent in part in this case because I would accept the Commission’s and Judge Patton’s Agreed Statement of Facts and Proposed Recommendation. As the majority appropriately points out (Maj. Op. ¶ 7), “Judge Patton has been a judge for more than twenty years, and has no prior disciplinary record.” Therefore, I would hold that a public reprimand, payment of $1,000 fine, and payment of costs of $100 is an appropriate sanction.
