May 10, 2013 BENJAMIN LOUIS PENNACCHIO [#252242], 32, of Downey was disbarred May 10, 2013, and was ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. Pennacchio was convicted in 2010 of contact with a minor for a sexual offense. In a separate proceeding, he was charged with failing to comply with rule 9.20. Pennacchio then failed to participate in disciplinary proceedings against him and his default was entered in 2012. Under rule 5.85 of the State Bar’s Rules of Procedure, 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. |
