FINAL NOTICE OF REVOCATION Case No. 08-182-RD Notice Issued: May 28, 2009
Kathleen M. Kubicki, P45929, Detroit, Michiga'n, by the Attorney Discipline Board Tri-County Hearing Panel #27. 1. Revocation 2. Effective March 21, 2009 Respondent was ordered to show cause why she should not be subject to a reciprocal order of discipline based on her disbarment in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama. Respondent did not appear at the hearing and did not file a response to the order to show cause.
Pursuant to MCR 9.104(B), proof of the adjudication of misconduct in a disciplinary proceeding in another state or a United States court is conclusive proofof misconduct in disciplinary proceedings in Michigan. The panel found that respondent's conduct in the federal proceedings
was contemptuous and without justification when respondent abandoned her client and her client's cause without explanation.
The hearing panel ordered that respondent's license to practice law in Michigan be revoked. Respondent filed a delayed petition for review on March 20,2009, but did not request a stay of discipline. On April 13, 2009, the Grievance Administrator filed a motion to dismiss respondent's petition based on her failure to file a brief in support. The Board granted the Grievance Administrator's motion and ordered that respondent's petition for review be dismissed. Total costs were assessed in the amount of $1 ,691.24.
