IN RE: DOUGLAS L. UZEE, JR.
ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
CRICHTON, J., dissents and assigns reasons:
I would reject the joint petition for consent discipline. Specifically, I find the repeated violations of Rules 8.1(b) (knowing failure to respond to a lawful demand for information from an admissions or disciplinary authority) and 8.1(c) (failure to cooperate with the Office of Disciplinary Counsel) of the Rules of Professional Conduct to be serious and quite aggravating in this case. At the very least, I believe that this misconduct warrants a more substantial discipline than a partially-deferred suspension.
