Discipline Summaries
September 19, 1997 DAVID M. GARLAND [#26250], 74, of Newport Beach was disbarred Sept. 19, 1997, and was ordered to comply with rule 955. Garland was disciplined in 1995 and, as conditions of his probation, was required to file quarterly probation reports, pass the professional responsibility examination and complete 12 hours of MCLE courses in gender bias. He failed to do so and was disbarred. The original discipline resulted from a 1993 conviction for misdemeanor assault and battery. Garland, who had practiced law for 40 years, was accused of exposing himself to his cleaning lady and grabbing her buttocks. The State Bar Court judge found at that time that although Garland’s conduct was not related to the practice of law, it was a breach of his responsibility to society and demeaned the integrity of the legal profession. In the current case, the court concluded, "It appears that [Garland] is wholly unresponsive to less serious forms of discipline, and that disbarment is the only sanction which will adequately protect the public, the courts and the legal profession."March 26, 1997 Following a default hearing, DAVID M. GARLAND [#26250], 74, of Newport Beach was placed on actual suspension for six months and until he has complied with the probation requirements of an earlier probation. If the actual suspension exceeds two years, he must prove his rehabilitation. He also was ordered to comply with rule 955. The order took effect March 26, 1997. The discipline is the result of Garland's failure to comply with probation conditions imposed following his 1993 criminal conviction for assault and battery. Garland failed to file three quarterly probation reports. Although bar attorneys sought a disbarment recommendation, the hearing judge reasoned that discipline already was imposed for the underlying criminal referral matter. "This court cannot increase the discipline which the Supreme Court has generally found appropriate in probation violation cases like the present one simply because [bar attorneys are] unhappy with the result in the previous criminal referral matter," the court wrote. Garland failed to file three quarterly probationary reports. Following this order, the bar court has subsequently recommended that Garland be disbarred in a separate matter, although the Supreme Court has not yet acted. |
