[¶1] In May 2017, the Committee on Judicial Responsibility and Disability filed a report with us in our capacity as the Supreme Judicial Court alleging that former York County Probate Judge Robert M.A. Nadeau violated Rule 2.11(A) of the Maine Code of Judicial Conduct1 when he. participated in the parties’ resolution of a case after acknowledging that he would be required to recuse for bias if an evidentia-ry hearing in the matter were necessary. We conclude that Judge Nadeau’s2 conduct constituted a violation of Rule 2.11(A), and we impose a public reprimand.
