In re Palmer
In re Palmer
Opinion of the Court
This matter comes before us on the petition of William C. Palmer, a duly licensed and practicing attorney before the courts of the state of Oregon, to review the proceedings and recommendation of the Board of Governors of the Oregon State Bar, which body recommended “that William C. Palmer be permanently disbarred from practicing as an attorney before the courts of the state of Oregon and from membership in the Oregon State Bar.”
Although extensions of time were granted by the court to petitioner to file a brief, no brief has ever been filed in this proceeding. However, the court permitted petitioner to appear in open court and argue his case.
It would serve no useful purpose to discuss the evidence or proceedings before us. We find no mitigating circumstance. This is not the first time that petitioner has been disciplined by the Oregon State Bar. The fact is that on one occasion we suspended petitioner’s license to practice law for unprofessional conduct in dealing with his client.
In our opinion the findings of fact and conclusions of law are fully sustained by the record and the recom
For the above reason it is hereby ordered that William C. Palmer be permanently disbarred from practicing as an attorney before the courts of the state of Oregon and that his license to so do is hereby revoked.
