   2. 2. the Commission finds that the stipulated conduct constitutes misconduct; and
   3. 3. the Commission finds that the misconduct is troubling but relatively minor misbehavior and that no public sanction is warranted.

   2. 2. the Commission has previously dismissed a complaint or formal complaint against the judge on conditions of no further misbehavior and the current misconduct violates such conditions; or
