NOTICE OF REVOCATION (Pending Appeal)
Case No. 08-182-RD Notice Issued: March 30, 2009
Kathleen M. Kubicki, P 45929, Detroit, Michigan, 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 proof of misconduct in disciplinary proceedings in Michigan. The panel found that respondent's conduct in the federal proceedings were contemptuous and without justification when respondent abandoned her client and her client's cause, offering no justification or explanation.
The hearing panel ordered that respondent's license to practice law in Michigan be revoked. On March 20, 2009, respondent filed a delayed petition for review, without requesting a stay of discipline. Review proceedings before the Attorney Discipline Board are currently scheduled for May 13, 2009.
