A visiting judge this morning denied to begin proceedings to remove embattled Cameron County District Attorney Armando R. Villalobos from office, but not before he suggested that the DA should temporarily step down from office.

Senior Judge J. Manuel Banales said a petition filed by Harlingen resident Trinidad Salinas did contain an adequate affidavit that warranted the removal of Villalobos.

"It does not meet the requirements of the law," Banales told attorney Juan Angel Guerra, who represented Salinas.
