Discipline Summaries
July 26, 2015 JAMES DARRYL IVEY [#154832], 52, of Oakland, was disbarred July 26, 2015 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. Ivey was disbarred after his default was entered for failing to appear at trial. Because he did not move to have the default set aside or vacated within 90 days as required under rule 5.85 of the State Bar’s Rules of Procedure, he was disbarred and the charges against him deemed admitted.Ivey was disciplined as a result of the United States Patent and Trademark Office finding him culpable of not responding to USPTO communications received on behalf of his clients, abandoning his clients’ patent applications without their knowledge or consent and failing to communicate.He had one prior record of discipline, an August 2013 suspension for failing to perform legal services with competence, respond to his client’s reasonable inquiries about the status of his case or cooperate with a State Bar investigation.August 23, 2013 JAMES DARRYL IVEY [#154832], 50, of Oakland, was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on two years' probation and ordered to take the MPRE. The order took effect Aug. 23, 2013. Ivey stipulated that he failed to perform legal services with competence, respond to his client’s reasonable inquiries about the status of his case or cooperate with a State Bar investigation.In 2011, a former client hired Ivey to prepare and prosecute a patent matter with the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office. After filing a patent application, Ivey did no additional work on his client’s behalf, causing the patent application to be declared abandoned. When the client sent an email asking for an update, Ivey did not respond.In mitigation, Ivey cooperated with the State Bar by entering into a pre-trial stipulation and had no prior discipline in 21 years of practicing law. |
