EXPUNGEMENT-SUSPENSION (RULE 9.6)
Expungement of suspension ordered
The State Bar of California having on the 21st day of November 2016, filed in this Court a resolution of the Board of Trustees authorizing State Bar staff to recommend, for the attached list of members, expungement of their suspension from the practice of law and membership in The State Bar of California for failure to pay membership fees, and the State Bar staff having ascertained and determined that each such member meets the criteria for expungement set forth in Rule 9.6(b) of the California Rules of Court;
IT IS ORDERED that the suspension for nonpayment of membership fees of each person hereinafter named be expunged by deleting or removing the record of such suspension from the member's record; and
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that notwithstanding the expungement the State Bar will maintain such internal records as are necessary to apply the terms of Rule 9.6(b) and to report to the Commission on Judicial Nominees Evaluation or appropriate governmental entities involved in judicial elections the member's eligibility for a judgeship under the California Constitution, article VI, section 15; and
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that expungement of the member's suspension will not relieve the member of his or her duty to disclose the suspension for purpose of determining the member's eligibility for a judgeship under the California Constitution, article VI, section 15, and for all other purposes the suspension expunged under this order is deemed not to have occurred and the member may answer accordingly any question relating to his or her membership record.
