Attorney Regulation.
The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a Conditional Admission of Misconduct submitted by the parties and disbarred Respondent John S. Keller (Attorney Registration No. 19496) from the practice of law. Respondent has been immediately suspended and his disbarment is effective October 16, 2006. On August 4, 2005, Respondent entered a guilty plea in federal district court to misprision of a felony in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 4. His guilty plea arose out of his concealment of a wire fraud scheme committed by Glenn Haydel in his capacity as President of the Metro New Orleans Transit, Inc. On June 20, 2006, the Louisiana Supreme Court granted a Petition for Permanent Resignation in Lieu of Discipline filed by Respondent who acknowledged the seriousness of his misconduct. Respondent's misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 8.4(a), (b), and (c).
