Discipline Summaries
November 16, 1997 DAVID B. MURRAY [#85478], 47, of San Diego was suspended for three years, stayed, placed on three years of probation with an actual one-year suspension and until he makes restitution, and was ordered to take the MPRE. If the actual suspension exceeds two years, he must prove his rehabilitation. The order took effect Nov. 16, 1997. Murray was retained to act as defense counsel in an insurance matter which was referred to arbitration. After the arbitrator awarded $60,000 to the plaintiff, Murray’s associate notified opposing counsel he planned to file a motion for a trial.The motion was not filed within the required 30 days and was rejected.However, Murray later filed a motion to set aside the arbitrator’s judgment and filed a false declaration, purportedly prepared and signed by his associate, that the earlier request for trial had been filed on time.In fact, the associate did not prepare the declaration and his signature was forged.When the court denied Murray’s motion, it issued sanctions against him totalling $3,500 for frivolous and fraudulent acts in bad faith to delay judgment. The court also ordered him to pay $1,000 to Los Angeles County for a fraudulent filing.Murray never paid the sanctions or reported them to the State Bar.He also did not maintain a current address with the bar and did not cooperate with its investigation.In mitigation, he practiced for 16 years without any discipline. |
