Discipline Summaries

December 17, 1995

JOYCE ANN COLEMAN [#130949], 55, of Laytonville was suspended for four years, stayed, and placed on probation for four years on the condition that she actually be suspended for three years and until she has shown proof of her rehabilitation, fitness to practice and learning and ability in the general law.

Credit was given for the period of interim suspension beginning June 15, 1993. She was ordered to pass the CPRE within one year or within the period of actual suspension, whichever is longer, following the effective date of the order, Dec. 17, 1995.

In 1993, Coleman was convicted in Sonoma County Superior Court of possession for sale of and cultivating marijuana.

Law enforcement officials found two marijuana gardens growing on Coleman's property in Santa Rosa, enclosed in chicken wire and camouflaged with brush. Officials estimated approximately 1,000 pounds of marijuana was growing, with a street value of $4,000 to $10,000, depending on where it was sold.

Marijuana found in and around the house was less than one ounce and no evidence of paraphernalia for processing, packaging or smoking was found.

Coleman stipulated that the facts and circumstances surrounding her convictions involved moral turpitude.

This conviction referral matter was consolidated with another matter in which Coleman also stipulated that she failed to comply with Rule 955 when she was placed on interim suspension as a result of her convictions.

A member of the bar since 1987, Coleman has no prior record of discipline.
