May 8, 2005 BOBBY OREN WHEELER JR. [#140726], 49, of Seattle was disbarred May 8, 2005, and was ordered to comply with rule 955 of the California Rules of Court. In a default proceeding, the State Bar Court determined that Wheeler did not meet the requirements of an earlier disciplinary order that he comply with rule 955: he did not submit to the Supreme Court an affidavit stating that he notified his clients, opposing counsel and other interested parties of his suspension from practice.The underlying discipline resulted from a formal reprimand in Washington for misconduct that included filing an action that he knew to be without a basis in law, not adequately communicating with his client and for not handling the case diligently. The court concluded that the misconduct in Washington warranted discipline in California.February 22, 2004 BOBBY OREN WHEELER JR. [#140726], 47, of Seattle was suspended for one year, stayed, actually suspended for 45 days and until the State Bar Court grants a motion to terminate the suspension, and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year and comply with rule 955. If the actual suspension exceeds two years, he must prove his rehabilitation. The order took effect Feb. 22, 2004. Wheeler was formally reprimanded in Washington for misconduct that included filing an action that he knew to be without a basis in law, not adequately communicating with his client and for not handling the case diligently. The State Bar Court ruled that his conduct warranted discipline in California.Wheeler did not participate in the proceedings. |
