People v. Roye

REPORT, DECISION AND IMPOSITION OF SANCTION

SANCTION IMPOSED: ATTORNEY SUSPENDED FOR ONE YEAR AND ONE DAY

A sanctions hearing pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.15 was held on March 5, 2008, before a Hearing Board consisting of the Presiding Disciplinary Judge Roger L. Keithley ("PDJ") and two Hearing Board members, Dante J. James and Kathryn S. Lonowski, both members of the bar. Fredrick J. Kraus, Assistant Regulation Counsel, represented the People of the State of Colorado (the "People"). Julia M. Roye, the respondent ("Roye"), did not appear either in person or by counsel.

The People filed a Complaint in this matter on September 24, 2002. The Proof of Service filed November 14, 2002 indicated that the Citation and Complaint were sent via certified and regular mail to Roye on September 25, 2002 to her registered home address.1 Roye failed to file an Answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint.

The People moved for default on the claims set forth in the Complaint, and on December 5, 2002, the PDJ granted the motion as to the facts set forth therein, which were deemed admitted. The PDJ granted default as to the alleged rule violations set forth in the Complaint, which were deemed established, with the exception of claim six alleging a violation of Colo. RPC 8.1(b), which was subsequently withdrawn.

At the sanctions hearing, exhibits 1 and 2 were offered by the People and admitted into evidence. Aaron W. Barrick testified on behalf of the People. The Hearing Board considered the People's argument, the facts established by the entry of default, the exhibits admitted, the testimony of the witness, and made the following findings of fact which were established by clear and convincing evidence.

I. FINDINGS OF FACT

Julia Matilda Roye has taken and sub-seribed to the oath of admission, was admit*1284ted to the bar of the Supreme Court on October 23, 1995 and is registered upon the official records of this court under attorney registration number 26240. Roye is subject to the jurisdiction of this court pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.1(b).

All factual allegations set forth in the Complaint were deemed admitted by the entry of default, and are therefore established by clear and convincing evidence. See Complaint attached hereto as exhibit "1." The entry of default also established the alleged violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct set forth therein.

II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND IMPOSITION OF SANCTION

The Complaint in the within matter alleges that Roye violated the following Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct: claim one, Colo. RPC 1.3(a lawyer shall act with reasonable diligence and promptness in representing a client and shall not neglect a legal matter entrusted to that lawyer); claim two, Colo. RPC 1.4(a)(a lawyer shall keep a client reasonably informed about the status of a matter and promptly comply with reasonable requests for information) and Colo. RPC 1.4(b)(a lawyer shall explain a matter to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the client to make informed decisions regarding the representation); claim three, Colo. RPC 3 A4(c)(a lawyer shall not knowingly disobey an obligation under the rules of a tribunal); claim four, Colo. RPC 8.4(d)(a lawyer shall not engage in conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice), and claim five Colo. RPC 1.16(d)(upon termination, a lawyer shall take steps to protect a client's interest and surrender papers and property to the client).

The allegations giving rise to this Complaint involve Roye's representation of one client. Roye filed injunctive proceeding to prevent seizure of equipment on behalf of the client on November 15, 2000, in Adams County District Court. The defendant filed an answer, a counterclaim and a third-party complaint. The parties resolved all issues with the exception of those alleged in the counterclaims. The case was set for trial on December 8, 2001. A status conference was set for November 5, 2001. Roye knew of the status conference and failed to appear.

The judge's division attempted to contact Roye, but Roye did not respond. On November 14, 2001, the court issued an order requiring Roye to contact the division no later than November 20, 2001 and state why the case had not been prosecuted. Roye did not respond to the order. Opposing counsel attempted to communicate by telephone with , Roye on numerous occasions and she did not return the telephone calls. The client appeared before the court on November 20, 2001, and requested that the matter be continued so that new counsel could be obtained, and the court vacated the trial date. The client hired replacement counsel on November 27, 2001. The client attempted to contact Roye to request that she turn over the file and bring replacement counsel up to date. Roye did not respond. Replacement counsel attempted to contact Roye directly to no avail and subsequently reconstructed the file from court records. The client incurred additional costs due to Roye's abandonment. The case was eventually resolved through mediation.

Roye neglected the legal matter entrusted to her in violation of Colo. RPC 1.8 by failing to appear for a status conference and respond to the subsequent order of court; failing to prosecute the case; failing to participate in the drafting of a proposed case management and trial management order; failing to engage in discovery, and by failing to respond to the court, her client, opposing and replacement counsel.

The facts established by the entry of default demonstrate that Roye effectively deserted and/or rejected the client. Such misconduct constitutes abandonment. To find abandonment rather than merely neglect, there must be proof that the attorney-during a given time period-was required to accomplish specific professional tasks for the client, failed to accomplish those tasks, and failed to communicate with the client. The proof must objectively indicate that the attorney has deserted, rejected and/or relinquished the professional responsibilities owed to the client. People v. Powell, *128537 P.3d 545, 548 (Colo.O.P.D.J.2001), citing People v. Carvell, 62 P.3d 167 (Colo.PDJ 2000); 2000 Colo. Discipl. LEXIS 26. In the present case, Roye effectively terminated the attorney-client relationship when she failed to communicate with the court, her client, and opposing counsel over a four-month period despite their numerous attempts to communicate with her. Her disregard of the client's request that she turn over the file to replacement counsel and her failure to communicate with replacement counsel triggered the requirements of Colo. RPC 1.16(d), requiring her to take reasonable steps to protect the client's interests upon termination. She failed to do so. The totality of such conduct constitutes abandonment.

Roye failed to adequately communicate with the client in violation of Colo. RPC 1.4(a) and failed to explain the matter to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the client to make informed decisions regarding the representation. Roye failed to respond to her client's repeated telephone calls after August 2001; she made no efforts to communicate with the client or replacement counsel when he was hired in November 2001; she failed to advise the client as to the date of the status conference and the possible legal effects of failing to attend the conference, and she failed to advise the client of the court's order requiring Roye to file a written status report and the possible legal effects of her failing to do so.

Roye knowingly disobeyed an obligation under the rules of a tribunal in violation of Colo. RPC 8.4(c) when she failed to appear for a status conference and thereafter failed to comply with the court order requiring her to advise the court in writing or in person as to the status of the case.

Roye directly delayed and altered the course of court proceedings by failing to participate in a case management order, a trial management order, discovery, and two status conferences and thereby caused prejudice to the administration of justice in violation of Colo. RPC 8.4(d).

Finally, due to Roye's abandonment of the matter, the client was constrained to hire replacement counsel who requested that Roye provide the client's file to him. Roye failed to return the client's files and papers despite demands and requests that she do so. Roye failed to take steps to the extent reasonably practicable to protect a client's interest in surrendering papers and property to which the client was entitled in violation of Colo. RPC 1.16(d).

III. IMPOSITION OF SANCTION

Under the ABA Standards for Imposing Lawyer Samctions (1991 & Supp. 1992)("ABA Standards") neglect rising to the level of abandonment warrants a sanction ranging from suspension to disbarment, depending on the facts of each case. See ABA Standard § 4 42(a)(providing that "[sluspension is generally appropriate when (a) a lawyer knowingly fails to perform services for a client and causes injury or potential injury to a client"); ABA Standard § 4.41(a)(providing that "[dlisbarment is generally appropriate when a lawyer abandons the practice and causes serious or potential serious injury to a client"). Colorado case law is consistent with this range of sanction.

In People v. Odom, 914 P.2d 342 (Colo.1996), the attorney was suspended for three years for failing to keep one client informed regarding an offer by the estranged spouse to increase child support and failing to keep the client informed regarding social security benefits, misconduct which resulted in harm to the client. In a separate case, the attorney failed to perform requested services in a criminal matter, failed to refund a retainer, and abandoned the client The attorney failed to participate in the disciplinary proceedings. In arriving at a three-year suspension, the Supreme Court stated:

Prior case law would sustain either a long period of suspension or disbarment in his case. However, "[gliven the abbreviated record in these default proceedings, and the facts and circumstances of this particular case, we elect to ... impose a period of suspension rather than disbarment."

914 P.2d at 345, (quoting People v. Crimaldi, 854 P.2d 782, 786 (Colo.1993)).

In Odom, the Court considered several aggravating factors including the attorney's prior discipline and assessed a three-year *1286period of suspension. In People v. Rishel, 956 P.2d 542 (Colo.1998) the Supreme Court suspended the attorney for one year and one day for seriously neglecting two client matters and recommended special conditions for reinstatement. In Carvell, 62 P.3d at 171, the Hearing Board suspended the attorney for one year and one day for failing to communicate with one client over a five-month period during a critical time in the proceeding, failing to provide the court with his client's financial information, failing to notify the client of the final orders hearing, failing to appear on the client's behalf, and failing to cooperate with the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel's investigation. The within case is similar to Carvell in that the matter involved one client and one instance of abandonment. As in Carvell, there is no allegation that Roye misappropriated funds. Similarly, in Powell, 37 P.3d at 548, the Hearing Board found that a suspension of one year and one day was warranted where, in three separate matters, the attorney neglected clients' matters, failed to communicate with the clients, failed to return one client's file, and did not update his information with the Office of Attorney Registration. As in the present case, Powell involved one instance of abandonment.

The ABA Standards and Colorado case law also support a period of suspension for one instance of abandonment coupled with one instance of knowingly disobedience of an obligation under the rules of a tribunal in violation of Colo. RPC 8.4(c). See Powell, 37 P.3d at 548 (suspending attorney for one year and one day for several rule violations including failing to update his home and business addresses with Attorney Registration); People v. - Johnson, - 35 P.3d 192 (Colo.O.P.D.J.1999)(suspending attorney for one year and one day for court-ordered child support).

Pursuant to ABA Standards 9.22 and 9.82 respectively, aggravating and mitigating factors are considered in arriving at the appropriate sanction. Because Roye did not participate in these proceedings, no mitigating factors were established. The People informed the Hearing Board, however, that Roye has had no prior disciplinary history, considered a mitigating factor pursuant to 9.32(a). See Carvell, 62 P.3d at 172 (considering an absence of a prior disciplinary ree-ord in mitigation in arriving at a one year and one day period of suspension). The Hearing Board also notes in mitigation that Roye was inexperienced in the practice of law, having been licensed for five years at the time of the events giving rise to this disciplinary proceeding. See id. at 9.832(F). In aggravation, Roye engaged in a pattern of misconduct, see ABA Standard 9.22(c). Given the mitigating and aggravating factors presented, a one year and one day suspension is warranted in this default proceeding.

IV. ORDER

It is therefore ORDERED:

1. JULIA MATILDA ROYE, attorney registration number 26240, is SUSPENDED from the practice of law for a period of one year and one day effective thirty-one (81) days from the date of this Order.

2. In the event Roye wishes to resume the practice law in the State of Colorado, she must undergo formal reinstatement proceedings pursuant to C. R.C.P. 251.29(c) and (d).

3. Roye is Ordered to pay the costs of these proceedings. The People shall submit a Statement of Costs within ten (10) days of the date of this Order. Respondent shall have five (5) days thereafter to submit a response thereto.
