Supreme Court of Colorado

The People of the State of Colorado, Complainant v. Steven James Foster, Respondent

December 6, 2011276 P.3d 583

Summary

On remand, the Hearing Board determined the appropriate sanction for Respondent's single remaining violation: deliberately reasserting a previously rejected judicial-bias claim in a sixth appeal. Considering the intentional and harassing nature of the conduct, the resulting unnecessary expenditure of resources, and substantial mitigation from Respondent's clean disciplinary record and cooperation, the Hearing Board imposed public censure rather than suspension.
