Opinion of the Court

Concurring Opinion

KLEINFELD, Circuit Judge,

concurring in the result:

I concur in the result reached by the majority. Rather than deciding as a general matter whether judicial misconduct can be found in routine personnel decisions, I would affirm the Chief Judge’s decision for the reasons she gave.
