Another complaint alleging misconduct has been filed against U.S. Chief District Judge Edward W. Nottingham Jr., this time with the Colorado Supreme Court’s Attorney Regulation Counsel.
The complaint was filed by Sean Harrington on April 1. Harrington, a blogger who writes about legal issues in Colorado, has also filed a complaint against Nottingham with the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals that is under review.
In a letter to Harrington, the attorney regulation counsel wrote that once the 10th Circuit completes their investigation of Nottingham, they will review the conclusions and determine whether an additional investigation is warranted.
The attorney regulation counsel is charged with disciplinary matters regarding the conduct of lawyers in Colorado. Nottingham is a federal judge, but he is also recognized as an attorney.
In the complaints, Nottingham is accused of misconduct off the bench that includes observing pornographic web sites on the computer in his chambers, arguing with a woman over a handicapped parking spot and allegations reported by 9News that he patronized an escort service.
