U.S. District Judge Carlos Murguia was publicly reprimanded for misconduct that included sexually harassing court employees. The Judicial Council of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, chaired by the Circuit Chief Judge Timothy Tymkovich, held that Judge Murguia engaged in an extramarital relationship with a felon who was on probation, sexually harassed employees, and was constantly late for court engagements. Judge Murguia admitted to the misconduct allegations, apologized for his behavior, and promised he would not engage in any inappropriate conduct in the future. The order from the Judicial Council said that the evidence and facts associated with the allegations were “insufficient” to recommend that Judge Murguia be impeached.
