Florida Bar v. Byron
Florida Bar v. Byron
Opinion of the Court
The respondent, Frank Byron, neglected a legal matter entrusted to him which resulted in dismissal with prejudice of his client’s case. The referee found this neglect to be a violation of Disciplinary Rule 6-101(AX3) of the Code of Professional Responsibility. The finding is supported by competent substantial evidence.
Respondent has previously been suspended for thirty days in a disciplinary. action resulting from his failure to file income tax returns. 384 So.2d 1269. Considering that fact and the circumstances of this neglect, the referee recommended suspension for an additional sixty to ninety days. As an additional requirement, the bar recommends
Frank Bryon is publicly reprimanded for failing to fulfill his responsibilities as an attorney, is suspended from the practice of law for an additional sixty days, and shall pay costs of these proceedings in the amount of $148.30.
It is so ordered.
