| Topic: | Bar discipline - Suspension |
| Summary of the Facts: | The Mississippi Bar filed a Motion for Indefinite Suspension Pending Appeal, Striking from Rolls, Suspending and Staying Proceedings of and against attorney Paul S. Minor. A formal Complaint was filed by the Bar based on a judgment in a criminal case wherein Minor was found guilty by a jury in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi of the following felonies: conspiracy, racketeering, mail fraud/honest services fraud, wire fraud/honest services fraud and bribery involving a federally funded program. The Bar requests that the Court strike the name of Minor from the rolls of the Mississippi Bar; suspend Minor from the practice of law pursuant to Mississippi Rule of Discipline 6(a), pending final disposition of these disciplinary proceedings or until reversal of Minor’s conviction; and finally, to stay further disciplinary proceedings until Minor’s appeal or appeals have been concluded, at which time Minor should be disbarred if his appeal or appeals are unsuccessful. |
| Summary of Opinion Analysis: | The motion by the Bar is well-taken and is granted. Paul S. Minor is immediately suspended from the practice of law in the State of Mississippi pending final disposition of these disciplinary proceedings or until reversal of the aforementioned convictions. |
