NOTICE OF SUSPENSION WITH CONDITIONS and NOTICE OF AUTOMATIC REINSTATEMENT
Case No. 96-152-AI; 97-231-JC Gary R. Dettloff, P-28693, Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan, by the Attorney Discipline Board modifying Tri-County Hearing Panel #18's Order of Suspension with Conditions.
1) Suspension - 179 Days; 2) Effective March 19, 1997.
3) Automatic Reinstatement; 4) Effective May 7, 1999.
On March 19, 1997, respondent tendered a plea of no contest, in Wayne County Circuit Court, to one count of Attempted Violation of Blue Sky Law, contrary to MCL 750.92. In accordance with MCR 9.120(B)(1), respondent was automatically suspended from the practice of law in Michigan effective March 19, 1997, the date of the felony conviction. Upon the filing of the Judgment of Conviction, the Attorney Discipline Board entered an order directing respondent to show cause why a final order of discipline should not be entered. The panel ordered that respondent be suspended for 179 days commencing November 14, 1998, to run consecutively to the interim suspension which had been in effect since March 19, 1997. The panel conditioned respondent's eligibility for reinstatement upon his filing an affidavit that he has made all restitution ordered by the Wayne County Circuit Court together with an affidavit from his treating physician.
The Grievance Administrator and the respondent each filed a petition for review. On April 15, 1999, the Attorney Discipline Board entered an order modifying the effective date of the 179- day suspension to March 19, 1997, the effective of the automatic interim suspension, and otherwise affirming the panel's order. Costs were assessed in the amount of $3,422.16.
In accordance with MCR 9.123(A), the suspension was terminated with the respondent's filing of an affidavit of compliance with the clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court on May 7, 1999.
