July 8, 1998 JOHN PAUL WALKER [#56194], 55, of Pasadena was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on one year of probation with a six-month actual suspension, and was ordered to comply with rule 955. The order took effect July 8, 1998. Walker stipulated to two counts of failure to perform legal services competently.In the first matter, he did not attend two pre-trial conferences in a workers' compensation case.In the second matter, a personal injury case Walker filed was dismissed by the court on its own motion. However, neither Walker nor opposing counsel was notified of the dismissal.When his client learned of the dismissal by looking at the court file, he asked Walker to further prosecute the case. Walker took no further action other than to help his client find new counsel.Walker has a prior record of discipline; in 1994 he was placed on two years of probation and actually suspended for 10 months for misconduct involving misappropriation of settlement funds, failure to perform legal services competently and failure to complete services in a timely manner.In mitigation, he acted in good faith and cooperated with the bar's investigation. |
