March 18, 2016 JOHN OWEN MURRIN III [#75329], 65, of Long Beach, was placed on two years’ probation and faces a two-year suspension if he does not comply with the terms of his disciplinary probation. He was also ordered to take the MPRE. The order took effect March 18, 2016. Murrin’s probation stems from his discipline in Minnesota for delayed prosecution and prejudice to the administration of justice. Murrin pursued multiple actions against a company called Avidigm and other co-defendants, accusing them of engaging in a Ponzi scheme. According to a stipulation he entered into with the State Bar, he “repeatedly filed voluminous, frivolous amended pleadings against nearly 50 defendants.†|
