Russian judge resigns for apparently sleeping on the job
A disciplinary panel of judges has approved the resignation of a Russian judge who apparently fell asleep during a court hearing.
Yevgeny Makhno, a judge in the far-eastern town of Blagoveshchensk, tendered his resignation earlier this week after video clips of him were uploaded onto YouTube.
The footage, which was apparently filmed in August of 2012, shows Mr Makhno sitting in what looks like a court room with his eyes closed and his head slumped to one side.
In another video, the judge appears to be engrossed in his mobile phone and sitting with his head drooping on his chest.
One clip was viewed over 75,000 times in just a few days.
