Rule 5.85 of the State Bar’s Rules of Procedure provides that a lawyer can be disbarred if he or she does not have the default set aside within 180 days. The charges are also deemed admitted.In one of the matters he was disciplined for Smith failed to pay $6,034.50 in sanctions to a law firm and $1,800 in sanctions to the plaintiffs in a civil case. Smith failed to respond to a complaint made to the State Bar about his failure to pay the sanctions and then misrepresented to a State Bar investigator that he paid the sanctions when he actually had not. |
