Opinion
10PDJ120.
November 5, 2010.
Attorney Regulation.
The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a Conditional Admission of Misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Glenn Lowell Webb (Attorney Registration No. 20023) from the practice of law for a period of thirty days, all stayed upon the successful completion of a two-year period of probation, effective November 5, 2010. From November 2005 through August 2009, Respondent signed and submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office five checks drawn on his business/operating account and three electronic fund transfers that were returned for insufficient funds. Further, at all relevant times, Respondent did not have a separate account for depositing unearned funds he received from clients. The USPTO found that Respondent had violated 37 C.F.R. §§ 10.23(b)(4) and 10.24(b)(6) and suspended him for a period of twenty-four months, all stayed pending completion of a twenty-four month period of probation with conditions on July 7, 2010. Accordingly, his misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of reciprocal discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.21(a). However, the parties stipulated that Respondent's negligent misconduct warranted a substantially different form of discipline and agreed on the sanction set forth above.
