People v. Fattor. 06PDJ057. July 21, 2006. Attorney Regulation.
The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a Conditional Admission of Misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Respondent James C. Fattor (Attorney Registration No. 02023) from the practice of law for a period of thirty days, effective August 21, 2006. Respondent failed to file his 2005 attorney registration fee and failed to cure this deficiency despite receiving notice. The Colorado Supreme Court suspended Respondent on August 19, 2005. However, he continued to practice law, principally through pro bono cases. Respondent eventually paid his previously unpaid attorney registration fee balance in the Spring of 2006, and the Colorado Supreme Court reinstated him on April 28, 2006. Respondent's misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 5.5(a).
