NOTICE OF SUSPENSION AND RESTITUTION Case No. 15-27- MZ (Ref. 14-56-GA) Notice Issued: October 30,2015 Kimberly A. Kirchoff, P 62870, Applegate, Michigan, by the Attorney Discipline Board Tri-Valley Hearing Panel #2.
1. Suspension - 30 Days 2. Effective October 30, 20151 The Grievance Administrator filed a petition for order to show cause on March 24, 2015, seeking additional discipline for respondent's failure to comply with the hearing panel's December 18, 2014 order issued in Grievance Administrator v Kimberly A. Kirchoff, Case No. 14-56-GA. Specifically, the Grievance Administrator alleged that respondent failed to pay the restitution which had been ordered. Respondent did not file an answer to the petition, but she did appear for the hearing on May 29, 2015. After that hearing, the panel ordered respondent to provide a statement of her assets and annual income and updated medical documentation on or before September 18, 2015. The order further provided that if respondent failed to provide the requested documentation, and upon the filing of an affidavit from the Grievance Administrator attesting to respondent's failure to provide the requested documentation, respondent's license to practice law in Michigan would be suspended for a period of 30 days, and until the restitution in the panel's December 18, 2014 order has been paid in full. On September 25, 2015, the Grievance Administrator filed such an affidavit.
On October 8, 2015, the panel issued an order increasing respondent's discipline to a 30-day suspension, effective October 30, 2015, and included the condition that she would not be eligible for automatic reinstatement pursuant to MCR 9.123(A) until she has paid the restitution, in full, as ordered by the panel in its December 18,2014 order, and has filed written proof of payment with the Attorney Discipline Board and the Grievance Administrator. Costs were assessed in the amount of $2,318.96.
