Judge Brian Lamb of Inyo County in California had an explanation for untimely rulings in three family law cases.
Lamb said he “lost track” of two of the uncompleted cases, and he had met the 90-day deadline in a third by issuing a tentative decision—albeit not a final statement of decision—within that period.
He also said he was not aware that he was making a false statement when he filed two salary invoices that falsely stated he had met the 90-day deadline in one of the cases.
