OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The state’s judicial oversight board has cleared an Omaha judge who was accused of unethical behavior for his actions in his adult daughter’s drunken-driving case.

The Nebraska Commission on Judicial Qualifications says District Judge Michael Coffey didn’t breach any state conduct rules.

The complaint was filed by Coffey’s former wife, Stacy Ryan, in February 2012. She alleged that he had improperly contacted probation officers regarding the actions of their eldest child, Megan Coffey, who’d been given a year of probation in March 2011 for her second DUI conviction.

The commission said Judge Coffey’s actions weren’t “threatening to any of the probation officers.”

The commission also said a judge “should not lose his or her rights and responsibilities as a parent simply because he or she holds judicial office.”
