Discipline Summaries

September 13, 1996

APRIL KATHRYNE MOTELL FORD [#95688], 44, of Riverside was disbarred Sept. 13, 1996, and ordered to comply with rule 955.

Ford was disbarred following her failure to comply with rule 955, as ordered by the Supreme Court in March 1995.

At that time, Ford's disciplinary probation was revoked, her stay of suspension lifted, and she was actually suspended for three years.

Ford's prior record of discipline was considered an aggravating factor in the disbarment decision. She was publicly reproved in 1992, a result of a conviction for possession of methamphetamine.

She failed to comply with probation requirements and in July 1994, she received a three-year stayed suspension with three years probation and 60 days actual suspension.

In November 1994, Ford received another three-year stayed suspension, five years probation and an actual suspension of one year.

Ford did not participate in the disbarment proceedings.
