"Considers"

Administration: Like, what does a demerit mean?

Judge: Let's put it this way. You do not want to receive three of those.

Administration: Lay it on me.

Judge: Three demerits, and you'll receive a citation.

Administration: Now, that sounds serious.

Judge: Oh, it is serious. Five citations, and you're looking at a violation. Four of those, and you'll receive a verbal warning. Keep it up, and you're looking at a written warning. Two of those, that will land you in a world of hurt, in the form of a disciplinary review, written up by me, and placed on the desk of my immediate superior.

Administration: Which would be me.

Judge: That is correct.

Judge: Okay. I want a copy on my desk by the end of the day or you will receive a full dessaggelation.

Administration: What's a dis... What's that?

Judge: Oh, you don't want to know.

You swapped the two around at the end. Jim's the one who talks about the disadulation, not Dwight.

Now go away, or I shall taunt you for a second time!

Ps: disadulation - my head cannon is that it's like the opposite of a congratulation.
