Discipline Summaries

July 1, 2001

RODNEY JAMES ESPINOZA [#117657], 45, of Covina was suspended for one year, stayed, actually suspended for six months and until the State Bar Court grants a motion to terminate the suspension, and was ordered to comply with rule 955. The order took effect July 1, 2001.

In a default proceeding, the bar court found Espinoza failed to comply with conditions of his probation. He did not file quarterly reports and failed to take the MPRE.

In 1997, he was disciplined for failing to maintain legal and just actions or report and pay judicial sanctions.

In violating his probation, Espinoza showed indifference to rectifying or atoning his misconduct. His failure to participate in the proceeding also was cited as an aggravating factor.
