In re Goodnight
In re Goodnight
Opinion of the Court
This disciplinary matter is before the Court on a Notice of Discipline seeking a public reprimand for Peggy Ruth Goodnight (State Bar No. 301445). The State Bar attempted to serve Goodnight personally at the address listed with it, but the sheriff filed a return of service non est inventus. The State Bar then properly served Goodnight by publication pursuant to Bar Rule 4-203.1 (b) (3) (ii). As Goodnight failed to file a Notice of Rejection, she is in default, has waived her rights to an evidentiary hearing, and is subject to such discipline and further proceedings as may be determined by this Court, see Bar Rule 4-208.1 (b).
The facts, as deemed admitted by virtue of Goodnight’s default, show that one of her clients filed a grievance with the State Bar.
Accordingly, we hereby order that Goodnight receive a Review Panel reprimand in accordance with Bar Rules 4-102 (b) (4) and 4-220 (b) for her admitted violation of Rule 9.3.
Review Panel reprimand.
