Discipline Summaries

April 22, 2006

ERIC LEE HOLT [#176153], 46, of Valencia was disbarred April 22, 2006, and was ordered to comply with rule 955.

In a default matter, the State Bar Court found that Holt did not comply with a rule 955 requirement that was part of a 2005 disciplinary order. He did not submit to the Supreme Court an affidavit stating that he had notified his clients, opposing counsel and other interested parties of his suspension. Failure to comply with rule 955 is grounds for disbarment.

The discipline was imposed for Holt’s failure to perform legal services competently or communicate with a client. He also was privately reproved in 2002 for failing to perform competently, and when he did not make the required restitution to his client, he was again privately reproved for violating probation conditions.

March 6, 2005

ERIC J. HOLT [#176153], 44, of Valencia was suspended for two years, stayed, actually suspended for six months and until he makes restitution and the State Bar Court grants a motion to terminate the suspension, and he was ordered to comply with rule 955. If the actual suspension exceeds two years, he must prove his rehabilitation. The order took effect March 6, 2005.

In a default matter, the bar court found that Holt violated probation conditions attached to a 2003 private reproval and in one case, he failed to perform legal services competently, communicate with a client or cooperate with the bar’s investigation.

He represented a client in a fraud action against the sellers in a real estate matter. Holt demanded $8,500 in damages but when the sellers did not respond, he took no further action and the statute of limitations expired. He did not respond to his clients’ inquiries for three years.

In 2003, he was privately reproved and ordered to make restitution to a client, but he did not do so.

Holt also was privately reproved in 2002 for failing to perform legal services competently.
