An attorney from Western New York who had served as a town justice in Chautauqua County for almost three decades has resigned after a complaint alleged he consistently failed to file certain mandated reports with the state and did not use technology at the court, including his email account.

Bruce Scolton, a name partner at Erickson Webb Scolton & Hadju in the Jamestown area, will leave his post as court justice in the town of Harmony at the end of the month and has agreed to never seek judicial office again, according to the State Commission on Judicial Conduct.
