A judge from Nevada announced on January 23, 2026, that she would be retiring from her post, just several days after a court issued a protective order to a lawyer she was accused of stalking for over a year. Washoe County Judge Bridget Robb, 63, allegedly stalked Gaming and Administrative Law attorney Kelci Binau at different locations around the city of Reno.
Court documents revealed the stalking occurred at several residences and workplaces. They also list and describe the nature of several dozen alleged encounters between the two, going on to drop suggestions that there might have been hundreds of these incidents during the time of the stalking. Binau alleges that Robb engaged in a “willful, repeated and patterned” course of conduct between May 2024 and the issuance of the temporary protective order a week ago that caused the attorney to experience fear and intimidation that led her to fear for her personal safety.
A hearing concerning the matter has been scheduled for February 13. The hearing will decide if the protective order should be extended. Binau claims to have made repeated requests for Robb to end the stalking behavior, but when those efforts failed, she turned to law enforcement for help. Once the order was issued, Chief District Judge Egan Walker took action to temporarily remove Robb from all cases and committee assignments, according to a court spokesperson.
Robb then announced she would be retiring as a judge, going on to say that it was “in the best interest of the court, my family, and the community,” according to a report from Fox News. “After careful consideration, I have made the decision to retire from my position as a judge. At this time, I believe stepping away from my judicial role and the election is in the best interest of the court, my family, and the community,” the judge added in a statement.
Judge Robb was up for re-election to her seat on the family court of Department 13. However, she decided to forego running for that seat and chose to go up against District Judge Kathleen Sigurdson in Department 10. The Reno Police Department opened an investigation into the alleged stalking last year. Local police observed a fitness studio that Binau frequented. The detectives on the case witnessed Robb loitering around the shopping center where the gym was located as Binau was working out.
Earlier in the month of January, law enforcement pulled Robb over after they saw her driving through the area. The detectives then followed her to her home where they interviewed her. Binau says that Robb confessed to stalking her during the interview. The encounter was recorded on the detectives’ body cameras. Robb told the detectives that she was just “collecting information” during her drive, which she claims were just part of her routine. Strangely, she went on to describe her actions as a coping mechanism connected to a previous personal relationship she had.
Sources also revealed that videos taken from multiple Ring cameras were included as evidence when Binau made the request for the protective order, however, what was captured on the footage was not specified. The filings did not provide the specific accusations that were levied against Robb. Judge Robb was appointed to the Second Judicial District Court in 2006, by former Nevada Gov. Kenny Guinn.
