PEOPLE v. SULLIVAN, 03PDJ084 (Colo.O.P.D.J. 6-7-2004)

People v. Sullivan.

No. 03PDJ084.Office of the Presiding Disciplinary Judge of the Supreme Court of Colorado.
June 7, 2004.

Attorney Regulation.
The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved the parties’ Conditional Admission of Misconduct and publicly censured Respondent Christopher M. Sullivan, attorney registration number 16277, in the State of Colorado. After Respondent filed suit in district court and the court expended considerable time and energy on the case, Respondent filed suit for bankruptcy three days before the trial. The bankruptcy filing resulted in the trial being vacated. The bankruptcy was ultimately dismissed due to Respondent’s failure to timely file his schedules and statement of financial affairs. The Respondent’s conduct interrupted the due course of judicial proceedings, specifically the timely trial of the case. Respondent`s conduct was held to be an indirect contempt and violated Colo. RPC 3.4(c) and 8.4(d) with grounds for discipline under C.R.C.P. 251.5. Respondent was ordered to pay the costs incurred in this proceeding.
