| Topic: | Bar discipline - Miss.R.Disc. 6 - Disbarment |
| Summary of the Facts: | The Bar filed a Formal Complaint against attorney Bobby DeLaughter based upon his plea of guilty in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi to one count of attempting to obstruct, influence, and impede an official proceeding of the United States in violation of Title 18 U.S.C. ยง 1512(c)(2). |
| Summary of Opinion Analysis: | Because DeLaughter has been adjudicated guilty of a felony, the Bar asks the Court to strike the name of Bobby B. DeLaughter from the rolls of the Mississippi Bar; immediately suspend DeLaughter from the practice of law in Mississippi pursuant to Rule 6(a) of the Mississippi Rules of Discipline; enter an order of disbarment pursuant to Rule 6(d) after the time for appeal from the judgment of conviction expires; and, upon entry of an order for disbarment, assess DeLaughter with the costs associated with this action. Disbarment is proper at this time, and the requested relief is granted. |
