An Arapahoe County judge’s threat to throw an attorney in jail earlier this year prompted the lawyer to file a complaint with the Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline, according to a copy of the document obtained by The Denver Post.

It was not clear Thursday whether the Commission on Judicial Discipline opened an investigation into the allegations against Michaelson. Most complaints submitted to the commissionfor procedural reasons, like a lack of jurisdiction or lack of evidence. The commission’s executive director, Chris Gregory, declined to comment Wednesday, citing the confidentiality rules.

The judge in March alerted the Colorado Supreme Court that he would be resigning on Aug. 1. In his resignation letter, Michaelson said he was at times frustrated by a lack of resources in trial courts. “If you don’t respect the Court’s order about the relevancy of that aspect of this case again, you will be held in contempt,” the judge said. “And you better be thinking about bringing a toothbrush. Because Monday night, that might be what you need to make yourself a little bit comfortable in where I’ll send you. Do you understand me?”

Cohen declined to comment Thursday. In the complaint, he calls for Michaelson to be removed from the bench before his scheduled resignation this summer.
