C) ; CLE FTC

ORDER IMPOSING RECIPROCAL DISCIPLINE This is a petition for reciprocal discipline of attorney William W. Seegmiller pursuant to SCR 114. Seegmiller failed to promptly pay a medical lien on behalf of his client. In considering this misconduct, the California Bar Court's Hearing Department concluded that there was one aggravating circumstance (prior discipline) and three mitigating circumstances (cooperation, good character, and community service, pro bono and charitable work). On January 5, 2017, the California Supreme Court suspended Seegmiller for one year, with all but the first 90 days stayed, and placed him on probation for two years subject to certain conditions. Seegmiller self-reported his California suspension to the State Bar of Nevada SCR 114(4) provides that this court shall impose identical reciprocal discipline unless the attorney demonstrates, or this court finds, that one of four exceptions applies. We conclude that none of the four exceptions are present in this case. By failing to pay his client's medical lien out of the funds held in his trust account on behalf of the client, Seegmiller violated RPC 1.15 (safekeeping property). He admitted to the misconduct before the California Bar Court's Hearing Department and does SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA
