Legal Question in Criminal Law in Colorado

Bench warrants

How long is a bench warrant for failure to appear for jury duty. I recently found out, from a job backround check, that I have one. I never received a notice that I WAS chosen for jury duty. I lost that job opportunity because of what they found. Thank you for your time.
