- 31 decision,153 which was rejected by the Personnel Management Directorate on April 9 based on its absolute lack of competence to “intervene, at any stage of the processing of an action of unconstitutionality.”154 93. On April 20, 2010, the Personnel Management Directorate recommended to the Supreme Court that it should: Dismiss, with no liability for the institution, attorney ADAN GUILLERMO LOPEZ LONE, […] owing to non-compliance with or serious or repeated violation of some of the duties, incompatibilities and conducts established in Chapters X and XI of the Judicial Service Act, because he had played an active part in the violent demonstration held near the “TONCONTIN” Airport on July 5, 2009, […] a conduct that was incompatible with the ethical principles and the legal norms that govern the actions of public officials.155 94. On May 5, 2010, the plenum of the Supreme Court of Justice approved the Personnel Management Directorate’s recommendation concerning the removal of Mr. López Lone and appointed a committee of three justices “to draw up the corresponding resolution and then to issue the corresponding decision on his removal.”156 The case file contains a resolution of the same date, signed by the President and the Secretary of the Supreme Court that, apparently following up on the orders of the plenum of the Court, sets out “the corresponding grounds, which have been approved, adding the date of the plenary meeting.”157 Nevertheless, the decision was not notified to Mr. López Lone.158 On May 21, 2010, the presumed victims presented a joint request for reconsideration of their sanctions of dismissal before the Supreme Court, indicating that they had become aware of the May 5 decisions through the media, but had not received the corresponding resolutions.159 95. On June 16, 2010, the Supreme Court issued a ruling on the dismissal, citing the following grounds: THE SUPREME COURT OF JUSTICE HEREBY DECIDES: 1. To dismiss, without any liability to the institution, attorney ADAN GUILLERMO LOPEZ LONE from the post of Judge of the Sentencing Court of the San Pedro Sula Judicial District, Department of Cortés, for serious or repeated non-compliance with or violation of some of the duties, incompatibilities and conduct established in Chapters X and XI of the Judicial Service Act, by virtue of his having played an active part in the political demonstration staged near “TONCONTIN” Airport on July 153 Cf.
