A RESOLUTION recommending that no article of impeachment be brought against supreme court justice Sherman D. Horton, Jr.

Whereas, the New Hampshire house of representatives has directed its judiciary committee "to investigate whether grounds exist...to impeach chief justice David A. Brock and/or any other justice of the New Hampshire supreme court"; and

Whereas, the house judiciary committee has conducted such investigation, and it hereby moves that the New Hampshire house of representatives adopt the following resolution relative to justice Sherman D. Horton, Jr; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the judiciary committee has found no clear and convincing evidence that justice Sherman D. Horton, Jr has acted in such a way as to require the house, acting under Part II, Article 17 of the New Hampshire constitution, to make and send to the senate an article of impeachment, and accordingly moves that no article of impeachment be brought against justice Sherman D. Horton, Jr.
