Circuit Judge John Lockett issued the order against Circuit Judge Stuart Dubose.
Dubose serves as judge for the district that covers Choctaw, Clarke and Washington counties. The judgement stems from a fee Dubose collected while overseeing the estate of a man he never met.
A complaint filed with the Alabama Bar Association resulted in a 45 day suspension of Dubose's law license administered before just after he was elected as judge and before he was sworn in, in January of this year. A civil lawsuit filed against Dubose was settled out of court late last year. This recent judgement revealed Dubose failed to honor the terms of the settlement. In a faxed response to Judge Lockett, Judge Dubose called the ruling illegal and immoral.
