| Topic: | Bar discipline - Miss.R.Disc. 13 - Private reprimand |
| Summary of the Facts: | The Mississippi Bar has filed a formal complaint against Attorney BBB who was disciplined by the Tennessee Supreme Court and received an informal admonishment. The Mississippi Bar attached a certified copy of the order of informal admonishment, the Summary of the Complaint prepared by the Board, and two letters from Attorney BBB to its complaint. |
| Summary of Opinion Analysis: | Pursuant to Rule 13 of the Mississippi Rules of Discipline, the extent of the final discipline that can be imposed may be less or more severe that the discipline imposed by the other jurisdiction. Informal admonishment is not an available punishment to be imposed by this Court. Therefore, a private reprimand is appropriate. |
