Supreme Court of California · Filed
Published · citable
Holding
The court held that while substantial discipline was warranted for an attorney's willful disobedience of court orders and attempts to mislead a judicial officer, the State Bar's recommendation of disbarment was not supported by a record plagued by analytical gaps, mismatched charges and findings, and insufficient evidence for several alleged violations.
