Judge in Abe Hamadeh’s Case Faces Public Reprimand in Judicial Conduct Complaint for Separate Case – 60 Day Deadline Approaches in Hamadeh’s Case
Mohave County Judge Lee Jantzen
Mohave County Superior Court Judge Lee F. Jantzen has been publicly reprimanded by the Commission on Judicial Conduct for failing to issue a timely ruling in a case and collecting salary after declaring that he had no pending matters.
This is not the first time Jantzen has faced public censure for delayed rulings.
The June 11 order handed down from Commission Chair Frank Dominguez shows that Jantzen was found guilty after a complaint alleged that he “failed to issue a timely ruling, engaged in improper demeanor, and displayed preferential treatment toward one party in a civil matter.”
Thompson failed to rule on a civil case “not later than sixty days from submission,” as required by the Arizona Rules of Supreme Court and Arizona law.
