People v. Farrant5/17/1993
the seriousness of the respondent's misconduct in these two separate instances and his failure to participate meaningfully in the disciplinary proceedings after the amended complaint was filed, we find that a sixty-day period of suspension is warranted and is appropriate. See People v. Crimaldi, 804 P.2d 863 (Colo. 1991) (sixty-day suspension imposed where lawyer failed to prepare two wills promptly and professionally as agreed and where respondent defaulted before the hearing board and did not appear in supreme court, but where misconduct was mitigated by absence of prior disciplinary record). Accordingly, we accept the hearing panel's recommendation.
IV
It is hereby ordered that Joseph R. Farrant be suspended from the practice of law for sixty days, effective thirty days after the issuance of this opinion. C.R.C.P. 241.21(a). It is further ordered that Farrant pay the costs of this proceeding in the amount of $436.96 within thirty days after the announcement of this opinion to the Supreme Court Grievance Committee, 600 Seventeenth Street, Suite 500-S, Dominion Plaza, Denver, Colorado 80202.
