| Topic: | Bar discipline - Disbarment - Miss.R.Disc. 13 |
| Summary of the Facts: | The Mississippi Bar filed a Formal Complaint against Rodney Rexrode, an attorney resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Disbarment proceedings which Rexrode did not contest were previously instituted against him in Pennsylvania, and the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania disbarred him on April 19, 1999, retroactive to April 20, 1998. The Mississippi Bar seeks disbarment of Rexrode in Mississippi. |
| Summary of Opinion Analysis: | Under Rule 13 of the Mississippi Rules of Discipline, the sanction from the other jurisdiction is itself conclusive evidence of the guilt of the offense or unprofessional conduct. It is not necessary to prove the grounds for the discipline again in this state. Therefore, the sanction of disbarment is appropriate. |
