The Colorado Court of Appeals issued a decision reversing a District Court’s denial of our client’s Motion for review of a Magistrate’s order pursuant to Rule 7 of the Colorado Rules for Magistrates. The client retained The Cohen Law Group after the magistrate issued an unfavorable ruling in post-dissolution matters. The District Court denied the Motion because a transcript of the hearing before the Magistrate had not been filed. On appeal TCLG successfully argued that no transcript was required because the Magistrate’s alleged errors were apparent from pleadings and orders contained in the Court file. The Court of Appeals remanded the case to the District Court with instructions to correct the Magistrate’s ruling if the record showed that our client’s allegations were true. Sierra K. Swearingen wrote the Appellant’s Brief. 10/8/09
