New Mexico's Supreme Court will not discipline a Bernalillo County judge despite a recommendation from the Judicial Standards Commission for a fine and two-year probation.
The Albuquerque Journal reports the disciplinary process started after an Albuquerque detective said 2nd Judicial District Judge Jacqueline Flores gave him a false name in 2013 when she refused to grant an arrest warrant in a domestic violence case.
The court ruled there was no clear, convincing evidence that Flores engaged in wrongdoing.
