Attorney Regulation.
The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a Conditional Admission of Misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Kristopher Januzzi (Attorney Registration No. 40419) from the practice of law for a period of ninety days, with the requirement of reinstatement proceedings pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.29(c)-(e), effective May 19, 2010. In October 2009, the People learned from the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney Discipline that Respondent had been convicted of driving while ability impaired in Larimer County Court on March 2, 2009. Respondent failed to timely report this conviction to the People within ten days. Respondent subsequently disclosed his failure to timely report a guilty plea to a public disturbance charge in Denver County Court from December 1, 2008. In that case, Respondent failed to complete the conditions of his deferred judgment and sentence and the court issued a warrant for his arrest. That warrant remains outstanding. His misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 3.4(c), Colo. RPC 8.4(b), Colo. RPC 8.4(d), C.R.C.P. 251.5(b), and C.R.C.P. 251.5(c).
