In re Reid9/21/1993
xt-->the same provisions of the Rules of Professional Conduct. Under the ABA Standards for Imposing Lawyer Sanctions, reprimand or censure is appropriate when an attorney has been admonished and then engages in the same type of misconduct. Although the standards do not distinguish between reprimand and censure, our rules do. See SCRA 1986, 17-206(A)(4) and (5). Because of the severity of the neglect involved in this case, public censure, not a reprimand, is warranted.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that Charles H. Reid be and he hereby is publicly censured for incompetence, lack of diligence and failure to adequately communicate with his client.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this public censure shall be published in New Mexico Reports and the Bar Bulletin and shall be filed in the office of the clerk of the supreme court, pursuant to SCRA 1986, 17-206(D).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Charles H. Reid shall pay the costs of this proceeding in the amount of $747.99 on or before December 15, 1993, with interest accruing on any balance unpaid as of that date, at the rate of fifteen (15) percent per annum.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
