Discipline Summaries

June 18, 2011

PHYLLIS MOORE QUATMAN [#150653], 58, of Whitefish, Mont., was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on two years of probation with a 90-day actual suspension and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. The order took effect June 18, 2011.

Quatman stipulated that she disobeyed a court order by not timely responding to a Supreme Court order that she account for the work she did on a habeas corpus case. The court had ordered that she be reimbursed $43,560 for her work but asked that she account for her time.

Quatman was appointed to work on the habeas petition in 2005 under a fixed fee arrangement and received $39,360 at the end of the year. She continued to work on the proceeding and in September 2007, the court authorized payment of an additional $43,560. Within five months, she twice asked to be relieved as counsel due to health issues. The second request was granted, but Quatman was ordered to show cause whether she should reimburse the second payment. She did not respond to the order for a year, thus disobeying a court order.

In mitigation, Quatman cooperated with the bar’s investigation, she had health problems and the client was not harmed. She resides outside California and is on inactive status.
