The chief judge in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Alex Kozinski, has suspended a closely watched obscenity trial in Los Angeles federal court after being caught posting sexually explicit photos and videos on his own website.

Kozinski granted a 48-hour stay in the obscenity trial of filmmaker Ira Isaacs following a request from the prosecutor, the Los Angeles Times reported today.

The district attorney said he sought time to explore "a potential conflict of interest concerning the court having a … sexually explicit website with similar material to what is on trial here," according to the paper.
