December 4, 2006.


Attorney Regulation.

The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a Conditional Admission of Misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Eric Paul Ross (Attorney Registration No. 10344) from the practice of law for a period of six months with the requirement of a reinstatement hearing pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.29(c), effective January 4, 2007. Respondent has been on inactive status since July 26, 1991. Despite being on inactive status, Respondent was appointed and accepted appointments in four different matters, two of which involved the same substantive issues. Respondent admitted that he knew he was on inactive status when he handled the four cases and in fact did not request payment on the cases because he knew he had done something wrong. Respondent's misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 3.4(c) and Colo. RPC 5.5(a).
