Rochester City Court Judge Leticia Astacio stripped of all duties.
The teetering career of City Court Judge Leticia Astacio has taken another blow: She has been stripped of the few judicial duties she had.
Not only that, she also isn't allowed in non-public areas of the county's judicial buildings.
State Supreme Court Justice Craig Doran last week removed Astacio from all judicial work. Astacio's continued legal problems — she violated the terms of her drunken driving conviction discharge by attempting to again drink and drive — was central to the discipline, Doran said in a telephone interview Monday.
