From the CQ:
A special House Judiciary panel Tuesday voted 10-0 to recommend impeachment of a Texas federal judge convicted of obstruction of justice earlier this year for lying about unwanted sexual contact with two of his female employees.
U.S. District Judge Samuel B. Kent, who has served in the Southern District of Texas since 1990, pleaded guilty in February to one count of obstruction of justice after admitting that he gave false testimony to federal investigators looking into the sexual misconduct complaints. He was sentenced to 33 months in prison in May and is set to begin his sentence on June 15.
He would join a very small list of judges.
