I live in Colorado. I received my retirement from UC California this year in one lump sum. Do I need to file in a California state return?

No, retirement plan distributions are taxed according to your resident state when you receive the distribution, not where the retirement income originated. So, if you lived in Colorado when you received the distribution, then Colorado is the state that might tax that income (based on the Colorado laws).
