Samuel A. Perroni, Appellant v. David Sachar, Executive Director O — Goodson, J., Concurring in Part and Dissenting…

Summary

Justice Goodson concurred in dismissing Perroni's request for injunctive relief and mandamus because jurisdiction to review Commission decisions lies exclusively with the Supreme Court, but disagreed that the circuit court lacked jurisdiction over his declaratory-judgment challenge to the governing statute and Commission rules. She would affirm dismissal of the declaratory claim on standing grounds because Perroni had no legally protectable interest in how the Commission handled another judge's alleged misconduct and lacked interests adverse to the Commission. Justice Hart and Justice Wynne, dissenting, would have held that the circuit court had jurisdiction over the declaratory claim; Justice Wynne also would have found standing and reversed and remanded.
