FINAL NOTICE OF SUSPENSION WITH CONDITIONS Case No. 08-143-JC Notice Issued: April 28, 2011
Mark H. Canady, P 39352, Lansing, Michigan, by the Attorney Discipline Board, increasing discipline from a 60 day suspension to a 120 day suspension and modifying conditions.
1. Suspension - 120 Days 2. Effective April 23, 2011 Based on respondent's conviction for driving while impaired and two probation violations, the panel found that respondent had committed professional misconduct in violation of MCR 9.1 04(A)(5) and ordered that his license to practice law be suspended for 60 days. The panel also ordered that respondent be subject to conditions relevant to the established misconduct.
Respondent filed a petition for review and request for stay of discipline, which was granted by the Board. The Grievance Administrator filed a delayed cross-petition for review, which was also granted by the Board. On February 10, 2010, and prior to the review hearing, the Board issued an order of interim suspension, pursuant to MCR 9.115(H). That order was subsequently vacated on March 10, 2010, based on respondent's emergency motion for reinstatement.
After conducting a review hearing on May 12, 2010, the Board ordered that respondent's discipline be increased to a 120 day suspension and modified the hearing panel's conditions. Respondent filed an application for leave to appeal with the Michigan Supreme Court, which was denied on April 1, 2011. The Attorney Discipline Board issued an order continuing the automatic stay of respondent's discipline until April 23, 2011. Total costs were assessed in the amount of $2,236.09.
