NOTICE OF REPRIMAND Case No. 96-181-JC Notice Issued: November 27, 2001 Arnold M. Fink, P-13426, Southfield, Michigan, by the Attorney Discipline Board after remand from the Michigan Supreme Court.
1. Reprimand; 2. Effective October 29, 2001. The respondent was convicted of the misdemeanor offense of assault and battery in April 1996. The conviction was based upon respondent's conduct at a deposition in a civil case. In an order entered November 6, 1998, the Attorney Discipline Board reversed a hearing panel's order imposing "No Discipline" and entered an order of reprimand. The matter was remanded to the Board by the Supreme Court for application of the American Bar Association's Standards for Imposing Lawyer Sanctions. Grievance Administrator v Fink, 462 Mich 198; 612 NW2d 397 (2000). On April 25, 2001, the Board issued its further opinion concluding that its previous opinion and order reprimanding respondent should not be modified. The Grievance Administrator's application for leave to appeal that order was denied by the Supreme Court on October 29, 2001 and the respondent's reprimand is deemed effective that date.
