February 14, 2014 DENNIS E. POWELL [#68376], 67, of Sequim, Wash. was disbarred Feb. 14, 2014 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. Powell was disbarred after his default was entered for failing to respond to charges that he did not comply with rule 9.20 as required by a 2011 disciplinary order. Because he did not seek to have the default set aside within 180 days, as required by rule 5.85 of the Rules of Procedure, the State Bar moved to disbar him and the charges were deemed admitted.Powell’s 2011 discipline case resulted in a suspension for violating the terms of a private reproval imposed in 2009 for failing to perform legal services competently in one matter. He violated the reproval by filing a defective probation report, failing to file three others and providing late proof that he passed the MPRE.April 29, 2011 DENNIS E. POWELL [#68376], 65, of Sequim, Wash., was suspended for one year, stayed, and placed on a 60-day actual suspension and until the State Bar Court grants a motion to end the suspension, and he was ordered to take the MPRE.
