Discipline Summaries

May 14, 2011

DIDDO RUTH CLARK [#79876], 61, of Lafayette was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on three years of probation with a 30-day actual suspension and she was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect May 14, 2011.

Clark stipulated to two counts of misconduct, both the result of making false statements to a court clerk. She sought to mislead a judge and committed an act of moral turpitude.

After receiving two time extensions, Clark filed an appellate brief late. When the court received the brief, five days after the deadline, it ordered the clerk to return the document to Clark and gave her another deadline. She missed that as well, but in a letter to the clerk, said she had mailed the brief by priority mailing. In fact, she had not completed or mailed the brief and knew her statement was false. She later admitted to lying and apologized to the court.

In mitigation, Clark has no discipline record since her 1978 admission to the bar, she cooperated with the bar’s investigation and demonstrated remorse, and she claims she is a victim of hostile siblings who took all her assets, leaving her indigent and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
