Appeal from the District Court of the City and County of Denver Honorable Herbert L. Stern, III, Judge No. In this C.R.C.P. 106 proceeding, petitioner, Joseph W. Higgins, appearing pro se , appeals from a district court judgment dismissing his complaint. The Commission dismissed the complaint concluding that the propriety of the sentence was an appellate issue over which the Commission had no authority.
Petitioner claims that the district court erred in dismissing the complaint.
The Attorney General asserts that the district court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over judicial disciplinary proceedings. The supreme court, however, is the ultimate decision-maker in judicial disciplinary proceedings. Colo. Const. art. Like attorney disciplinary proceedings, judicial disciplinary proceedings are sui generis . We conclude that district courts do not have subject matter jurisdiction to compel the Commission or its Executive Director to investigate a complaint alleging judicial misconduct.
