Discipline Summaries
July 19, 2008 KEN SEJIMA HORIO [#182409], 44, of Huntington Beach was disbarred July 19, 2008, and was ordered to comply with rule 9.20. In a default proceeding, the State Bar Court found that Horio failed to comply with rule 955 by not submitting an affidavit stating that he notified his clients, opposing counsel and other interested parties of his 2007 suspension from practice. Failure to comply with rule 955, since renumbered as rule 9.20, is grounds for disbarment.The underlying discipline, which resulted in a two-year suspension and four years of probation, was imposed after Horio stipulated to 14 counts of misconduct in four matters. He admitted that he failed to perform legal services competently, communicate with clients or respond to reasonable status inquiries, release client files and property, maintain funds in a client trust account or cooperate with the bar's investigation.In recommending disbarment, Judge Richard Platel said Horio's "unexplained failure to file a rule 9.20(c) compliance declaration strongly suggests a conscious disregard" for both the Supreme Court's and State Bar Court's efforts to regulate lawyers, and added that anything short of disbarment would "undermine the integrity of the disciplinary system and damage public confidence in the legal profession." |
