Mesa County judge resigns amid disciplinary investigation

Lance P. Timbreza was suspended from his duties with pay in June amid a disciplinary investigation by the Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline, the entity responsible for investigating the state’s judges for violations of professional conduct. He never returned to work before submitting his resignation Monday.

“I will always cherish my time on the bench,” he wrote in a Monday resignation letter to Colorado Supreme Court Chief Justice Brian Boatright. Timbreza could not be reached for comment Tuesday. Although the Colorado Supreme Court issued a public order June 9 temporarily suspending Timbreza from his duties during the pending investigation, the reason for the investigation and suspension are secret and will remain confidential “unless or until a recommendation for sanctions or a recommendation for approval of a stipulated resolution is filed with the Court,” according to the suspension order.
