Discipline Summaries

February 11, 2011

EDGAR LOUIS BORNE III [#87315], 57, of Los Angeles was disbarred Feb. 11, 2011, and was ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court.

A State Bar Court review panel upheld a hearing judge’s recommendation that Borne be disbarred. It rejected the judge’s findings in one matter but agreed with findings in another matter that Borne committed an act of moral turpitude because he threatened to accuse his incarcerated client of perjury and to testify against him at a parole hearing unless the client withdrew his complaint to the State Bar. He also did not cooperate with the bar’s investigation.

In addition to his record of four previous disciplines, the review panel found that Borne failed to appreciate the serious consequences of his misconduct. “Borne suggests that his 23-year disciplinary record does not reflect a common thread or a pattern of serious misconduct warranting disbarment,” noted Judge Judith Epstein, who commended Borne for progress in dealing with alcoholism. Borne had argued that the hearing judge wrongfully denied admission of evidence about his rehabilitation, and he presented testimony about his good character. However, Epstein and the other panel members recommended his disbarment, “given his extensive discipline history and his present lack of cooperation.”

August 21, 2004

EDGAR L. BORNE III [#87315], 50, of Los Angeles was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on three years of probation with a 90-day actual suspension and was ordered to prove his rehabilitation, take the MPRE and comply with rule 955. The order took effect Aug. 21, 2004.

Borne stipulated that he practiced law while suspended for failing to pay bar dues. He appeared in court on behalf of his client on eight days.

Borne has been disciplined three times previously and has been suspended for non-payment of bar dues three times.
