He did not report the sanctions to the State Bar and did not pay them by deadline. He was ordered to pay the $2,000 in sanctions and provide proof of his compliance to the Office of Probation.In mitigation, he had no prior record of discipline and entered into a pretrial stipulation with the State Bar. |
